Slugger, take the advice we are giving you. I did not and got two.. yes, two degrees in aviation related fields and I am kicking myself in the arse for doing so. I wish now, I had studied meteorology or something else that I could fall back on. I am stuck now with what I have, but am getting ready to start an online MBA program to hopefully build a feasible backup plan should the dirt hit the fan again. I got lucky this time, my old employer in college hired me back as a computer course designer and programmer... and I was able to find another airline job. Next time, things might not work out so nicely.
