I have a degree and work for a place that doesn’t require one. Would I have been hired without one? Who knows, don’t care. My ROI has been more than beneficial enough even IF the degree helped/did not help me get on.
You stated that you were bitter cause you got a degree and ended up not needing one. I guess I don’t understand that thinking.....are you bitter cause someone didn’t have a degree and got hired? So what! It’s like I tell my kids....”life’s not fair, get over it”. I agree with you that it is definitely a smart move to get one if you wanna fly for a career, but it’s definitely not required. I’m pretty sure delta and fed ex where the only ones that actually require a degree.....I could be wrong about that, but I’m too lazy to look it up. And for the record, I have a degree.
