where'd you get ur degree from bose? i'd assume one of the expensive schools such as ERAU or another private aviation institution. Private schools are expensive, and, i think anyone and everyone knows that. My girlfriend is a graduate of Rockhurst University (one of the more "affordable" jesuit schools) Her education (w/ her scholoriships included) was still more expensive than my aviation degree from my state school.

I do know that out of state tuition can be a killer, had a few friends from out of state that went to central and left after a year because they did the math and discovered it'd be cheaper to do the same thing in their home state.

Personally, i don't see a general "business" degree as being anything more valuable than an aviation degree. An accounting degree, yes more. If i was choosing to do something different than my basic aviation degree, i would have probably gone for engineering (aviation or automotive) or finished my double major (automotive design). That's my only other true "passion". The vast majority of majors however are somewhat limited, and, if you decide to do something other than what your major was then you simply have a degree that isn't going to help you out significantly. And i know plenty of people who are getting jobs in fields that they actually didn't study, best of luck to everyone in their decesions.

And most importantly, shop around and make the best decesion for your future and your money.
