Default SkyHigh you are absolutely right

I got a BS from Embry-Riddle. While it is a good school, I am now working as an FO at a small airline. If I had started flying right away and then done college later, I would have been captain now for at least a few years. Get a flying job now and then finish college later. This is one of the few industries where a college education does very little to help you. Even the major airlines would hire a guy with a few years of captain time and no degree over a guy with a college degree and no captain time any day. Almost no airlines require a college degree. Get your job first and then be sure to complete your degree later.
I wish I knew then what I know now.
