A degree isn't "meaningless." It's the price of admission. We've got a few folks without degrees. I don't agree with that. It's the price of admission.

I especially love to hear the impressive stories from one of our QC Check-Airman that has a chip on his shoulder because he doesn't have a degree.

go out and get it done. It shows you care about the profession and being a professional.

There are degrees and then there are degrees. Some may want to get a higher quality degree so they can do other things in addition to flying. There are "degrees" and then there are "degrees." Whichever road you choose based on your academic prowess go ahead and get r done.

A degree is only meaninless if you attach no meaning to it. It has meaning if you assign it meaning. It's subjective in your mind. But, it's an objective qualification and it's an easy discriminator.

Most that don't have a degree fall into three categories.

1. too lazy to do it
2. lack the dedication and discipline
3. No time, other priorities

Funds are not an excuse. The GI bill is there and so are student loans.
