I am doing ee as my safety net but i fear that once i graduate with it, it will be hard to say no to a 60k a year job to go on and get the rest of my ratings to fly for 20k a year. I guess what im curious about is i am very close to getting a general AS degree. How do the airlines look at those in comparison to the other guys with BA or BS. Im thinking of taking the AS and running with it to the nearest FBO and fly, fly, fly. Any advice??

Thanks
