ultradrvr,

First of all, what degree are you pursuing? That in and of itself is the most important question, because based on the answer, the amount of "data" you might need will differ. As an example, if you're going for a B.S. in aerospace management, then you may have your work cut out for you, because predicting the future is still a very difficult art, except here of course. However, if you're going for a B.A. in History, then explaining that your ultimate goal is to become a lawyer will have completely different future requirements. I'm not sure I've explained my point well, but hopefully you'll understand it.

Perhaps another way to look at it is that almost any degree is suitable, if all you want is to become an airline pilot. With that in mind, pick a degree program that will allow you a great fall-back, just in case you get hired by an airline, but then, as with so many guys now, you end up on furlough. At least you'll have real "skills".

Good Luck,

JJ
