It has been my position that getting an aviation degree was paramount to getting a degree in mountain sports. Both are mostly useless and will not help in career success.

First of all you do not need an aviation degree to reach your career goal. In my experience it is a detriment. What is more useful to the company a pilot with an accounting degree or a one trick pony who only has an aviation education?

It seems to me that these days rich kids who are trying to get out of having to learn a worthwhile job skill or actual discipline will blow the trust fund on a play degree. Perhaps the university should develop an X Games degree or perhaps a masters in XBox 360? I am sure it would sell.
