The first rule of published stats or polls is that it only represents what the author, publisher or presenter WANTS them to represent.

His repeated statements on franchise investment sure sounds like a salesman of some sort to me. He speaks as if EVERY person should conclude of future of college or franchise investment with 100% ROI, beautiful kids and a 4000 square foot house.

Beyond rediculous.

Look, I was a Novell / MS network engineer in a past life as well with more miles in wires ran, and boxes built, than should be humanly possible and can relate to the hard work, patience and dedication it took to achive success and satisfaction. However, nothing......and I mean NOTHING has fullfilled that feeling of satisfaction more than finishing a 4 year curriculum that required nothing less than EVERYTHING I had mentally to complete.

No flying experience, network job or.......well, any job I've had to this day could even touch that feeling of accomplishment to me. But I value the degree more as it has opened far more opportunities than I could remember, let alone list.


I agree. Some of my classes required the very best of my ability. No written exam, flight, checkride, line check, type ride, or FAA written exam tested me like some of my upper division courses did.

I'd gladly take a type rating course in any aircraft over a semester of upper division physics again.
And, I'd succeed with "far" less effort.
