...but if you enjoy aviation and want to work in that INDUSTRY there is nothing wrong with an aviation degree. Just make sure it's something that will teach you more than how to be a pilot. Degrees such as Aviation Management, Aeronautical Science, Aviation Meterology, Aviation Human Factors, etc. are very useful in the aviation INDUSTRY outside of just being a pilot. Just because your degree says "Aviation" on it does not automatically mean you have to go be a pilot. As for how "useful" it is...that's a completely subjective statement...your degree is only as useful as you make it.
