Really? Why didn't your father talk you out of going to college years ago?
Why didn't you elect avoid it yourself?
Not sure how many pilots your father flew with that had no degree.
The vast majority of pilots I've flown with over several years have degrees.

I'm not sure if you're aware that the US highschool diploma is a joke compared with those in many other countries around the world. It's barely worth the paper its written on.
It's common knowledge that a HSD typically won't get you a rewarding career.
College is a must in the US if you want a decent career!
Sorry if you think I put too much emphasis on education. Any job I've ever been interested in typically goes to those with lots of experience and college education.
