[quote=200SR20;446733]This is true and I completely agree. I am an A&P with an A.S. degree, I live in Sanford FL and go to Delta Connection Academy. I'm looking at finishing my degree I have started, my Y in the road I have hit is... A) Finish my Maintenance degree and get a BS or...B) Go to Embry and transfer my general eds I have takin along with my PVT-MEI and finish with a BS degree in Aeronautical Science (Professional Pilot Degree)??

Here's my real question I have... Lets say by a miracle you submit your app to an airline... There is 1 slot open and it comes down to 2 applicants... You and this other guy. You have the same requirements as the other guy but your BS is in Aviation Maintenance and his is in Aeronautical Science (The Professional Pilots Degree) what looks better??

I'll bet it comes down to explains himself better in the interview
What I mean is that I really doubt it comes down to the type of degree. There are 1 million more ways to distinguish (or extinguish) yourself that the type of degree that you have during the whole interview process. At least getting that degree shows a level of maturity and self-determination. In my case - I was worried about getting through school going down the road that I was going towards getting a degree in something that I had no interest in or desire for a career in. I completely understand what others say on here about getting a degree in something else as a fall back plan and I agree - that is good advice. In my case, I needed to be motivated. I needed to (and still do) really enjoy what I am doing and studying about aviation was the answer for me. I am not sure - but graduating with an accounting degree and then 10 years later trying to get a job as an accountant does seem to plausible either.
You sound like you are approaching this with a good understanding of the prizes and pitfalls associated with this professional. Good luck and best of hunting!
