I disagree. What the hell is the point of getting an education in something you don't plan on using in your field of profession? Myself personally have decided that aviation is an all or nothing committment. It's not like if you loose your medical that you have nothing to look foward to. There are plenty of other jobs that allow your previous experience to be used in the future. In my case i majored in Professional Aeronautics and am minoring in Safety so that I have other possibilities in the FAA or the NTSB. Just my 2 cents.
