So I guess your right it's not absolute but your disagreement and the others you refer to put you in the 5% block that would direct someone to put all their eggs in one very rickety basket.
So an Aeronautical Engineering degree is out of the question? It's aviation related after all.
The statistics on the poll are interesting, but since it was of 50+ year olds how many of them have an aviation related degree? They really only came into vogue in the last 30 years. How many of those 50+ year olds even had an aviation degree as an option.
I know that my degree has helped significantly in my career ( it's Aeronautical Operations from SJSU ). It's given me the tools to be very good at what I do and has opened doors to positions that are career enriching and lucrative. Can't say that I'd be where I am with a Philosophy degree.
