First off im asking this question on behalf of a friend he tried to join but only has a free email acct. He is currently 25 years old working for a 135 passenger outfit about 2800TT and about to upgrade on a lear 40. When he was 17 his parents divorced so he was completly on his own for college. He attended a state school that offered pilot training along with a degree. after 4 semesters he could no longer afford tuition and flight training, he felt like he had to make a choice between flying and college. He knew he could land a flying job with out a college degree just not the kind that he dreamed about. Anyway now with the added pay raise he is about to recieve he can afford online classes, not only that his company has some sort of tuition reimbursment program. His concern though is many people say 4 year online degrees are worthless. He wants to eventually work for American, Southwest, or Delta. However he feels like they will not approve of his online degree. I didnt really know what to tell him thats a tough position to be in. I feel like its not fair for him to be denied a fair shot. He worked his butt off in college as a line guy an airline ramper and a gas station clerk. Several times I saw him sleeping in his car at the airport since he only had a few hours to go from ramp agent at the airlines back to a line guy at the FBO. I know if i was in his shoes i could not have done it. its great to see someone so passionate about something they love. So what do you guys recomend?
