Hmm.. i guess i mess up while typing the first thread.
Actually i was wondering should i get a AA degree in aviation, THAN transfer to an university and get the BA.
Yes, i knew a lot of you guys mention in other thread that to "get a degree in other major but not aviation for fall back." But ignore the fall back part, wouldn't it be easier to entre the field if i have a BA in aviation? I mean, i got the license, the hours, pretty much can skip the training part..
Better off getting a degree outside of aviation so you have a fall back. The airlines could care less what your degree is in, be it Aeronautical Engineering or Pouring Coffee. As long you as you have the degree they check the box. Someone with a Associates will get a higher mark then someone with just a high school diploma, someone with a Bachelors will get higher marks then an Associates and so on for Masters and Doctorates. What is boils done to is they don't care what your concentration is, just that you have one. Your main concern needs to be building hours and becoming a CFI is a good way to do that.
