Agreed.

One nice thing about corporate, if you can get in, is that many corporations have some sort of tuition reimbursement program that extends to flight dept. personnel.

Also, a degree can help give a person credibility when it comes time to upgrade into flight dept. management. Given two guys with the same seniority going for a mgmt. position, the degree could be the tie-breaker. Flight dept. management is where the money is really at in corporate aviation.
