College misconception
Greetings,
Recently I've noticed among my peers an issue that I figured I could address here. It seems as if all of the young pilots I know really aren't clear on what to study in college. I feel that for an aspiring airline pilot the obvious choice for a degree would be in the field of aviation. Then again, aviation is such a volatile industry that it probably would be a prudent choice to study something not even remotely related to aviation. I'm currently finishing my commercial-multi-intruments and then plan on going off to study meteorology. Is a degree such as meteorology or biology not acceptable or valid in the eyes of the airline recruiters? Is the misconception really that it doesn't matter what you have a four-year degree in, as long as you have one. Or do the big companies (airline or cargo) favor a degree related to aviation?
Thanks in advance-poorpilot
