Question is: how important is one's college major? I've seen some people say that an aviation related degree is not necessary, but have also seen cases of people saying merely have a college degree in anything and doing well is what is important, and that flight hours are flight hours regardless of degree.

I would love to hear any input on this topic and any advice people may have. Looking at pilot's profiles on linkedin, it seems that most have aviation degrees.



I am currently a junior in college and now that all of my general ed classes are out of the way, its decision time in terms of choosing a major. The public state university that I go to has an aviation program and flight labs where I can finish my commercial, as I already have my PPL and instrument.

Thank you!
