If you want out, get out. Your personal motivation and attitude will get you further in life than a degree in any field.
People who say that a 4 year aviation degree is worthless are either lazy or too chicken to get off the nipple.
Just my opinion.
Doing what? Seriously, I have tried, but when it comes to my background two things happen. A- they think I'm crazy for wanting to leave the oh so glamorous pilot job, and/or B) the aviation degree just warrants blank stares. I then have to go into detail about what classes I took and explain what the program entailed. I'm realizing that I'll probably have to start at the bottom in pay and position, as if right out of school, if I make the jump. So far that's all that I've been offered. It's discouraging. I certainly don't want a paycut.
