An aviation degree isn't real work--it's just a fluffed up 120-hr vo-tech program. I can't fathom how anyone would honestly think it challenging. I didn't realize just how embarrassingly simple it was until I started working towards other degrees. Maybe the lack of comparison makes it hard for some people to admit it.

As far as worth goes, it's good for checking the "Have degree?" box on a job app, like any other. Definitely not something to pay private or nonresident tuition for.
