Opinions are like...you know the rest.

People have said Kobe should have gone to college before the NBA. I say get what you can while you can. There will be CFI work if you need it later. Why would you build time as a CFI for a jet job when you can have a jet job first. It's been pointed out it would be better to have an airline to go back to if the worst should happen. Guaranteed job? I checked snopes and they said it was a false rumor. Get the degree for sure. I'm not sure your gonna get hired without it.

That's my opionion...refer to line one.
