My take on this is a little different. Most, if not all, of my aviation experience is from a airport ops and ramp perspective. Aviation within itself is not a hard vocation. It just depends which aspect of aviation you wish to pursue.

As advised, don't get an aviation degree. It is viewed as a business degree in corporate America. You'd be better off attending a school known for their School of Business or as some have suggested....Engineering....something you mention that you were interested in.

I will say this, the aviation community is small in nature. Meaning that if you get in.....stay in! Do lateral movements if you're able, but stay in. I got out and have caught nothing but pure hell trying to get back in.
