This post is NOT "Which area should I get my degree" but as to the extent people are getting ANY degree...
I know most regionals are hiring "High School Degree required" with a few stipulating "College education preferred." So basically some regionals can be hiring people with just a highschool/GED education. Dont most majors require at least a BS or at least an Associates? Is there any thought on getting a further degree such as a masters? I think a PhD in something would be WAY out there but I wonder if anyone has or is planning on getting one.
Any thoughts on the topic?
Hey I'm in the same boat as you are, pretty much everybody I talked to says that a BA/BS college degree is best, doesn't have to be aviation but it helps, but the main thing is you have a degree. Masters Degrees really aren't that much of a focus, however I don't see how it would hinder you much...as for a PhD..come on its a regional, not NASA.
