So I guess If you would take away, Art, literature, Math, Music and English and history and just let me take the classes I like, I would be in a real colege in a hartbeat. But If I really suck at the above mentioned subjects, I don't think that it makes me a worse of a pilot then someone that knows something about literature and History.
Bottom line I think you should be judged by skills required in your proffession and not by some useless Junk that you flunked in High School and that you neve ever need in the real world. And Just to set the record straight, I am a furloghed FO from XJET, been there a year and a half. I jsut want a degree to put on my resume and was seeking advise. I didn't say I was actually getting one of those scam degrees. And as far as GoJet I was gonna go there for about a year, untill XJET recalls, since they don't require you to resign seniority.
You are totally right. I can't beleive the useless crap they try to teach in high school. Subjects like math and english, pointless crap. Never needed those in everday life. Art, music and literature? What, are they trying to teach you to be a hippie? What useless crap. So what are you going to do if you ever lose your medical and can't fly? Kill yourself? Afterall, what would be the point of life if you couldn't climb into a shiny jet? Grow up.
