I did get an aviation degree, and it got me as far as it'd get anyone. The problem is, so would have any other degree, the tuition for which would have cost a fourth as much. Luckily, I only spent three semesters there. The LAST three.
The bottom line is, even considering the few people who may get reduced minimums at some regional, equating to a few fewer months of flight instructing, it isn't worth the money. You seem to agree with me on that point. Where we diverge is when I go on to say it isn't good for anything. Of course, it's just as good as any other degree for anything that requires just any degree, but here again, you still have the issue of having paid 3-4 times as much as you could have.
