I dropped out of community college when I was 20. At the time I couldn’t afford the expenses without going into debt, I wasn’t doing well because I was too tired from working, and a degree wasn’t actually getting me any closer to flying for a living. I had around 60 credits IIRC.

Over a decade later I am now applying to an online program. I have some GI Bill left to help me, and I’m excited to get back to learning outside of aviation. I don’t think it’s worthless, although I don’t think it’s worth carrying a lot of debt for either. Anyways, I hope to check back in a few years and change my vote.
