Ask the ol' timers who majored in aviation and they will tell you that they wished they majored in something else. I majored in "flight technology" for 2 semester then decided it was a complete waste of time and money. Plus it makes you rather one dimensional, wouldn't you like to know things outside the world of aviation?? There's more out there in this world than lift, weight, thrust, and drag.
I now major in business management and I can guarantee you that when I graduate (1 week yay) I will know more aviation based information than 90% of the guys who come out of a pilot factory. Granted, I have had a lot of training from a former Air Force pilot (now the captain I fly with in the King Air), but the point still remains.
I just cant resist this one. You are seriously one arrogant prick...and especially so for a guy as young and inexperienced as you are. Just a thought for ya...I have known several guys with your attitude towards other pilots and the industry. They all have gotten what was coming to them. You are the type of pilot that the rest of the industry hates to fly with.
BTW I know of a few captains at "the bigs" that got aviation degrees. They studied flight and "flew" all the way through college. It blows me away that you would talk to your fellow pilots like that. How insecure are you? I would suggest you take that degree and shov.....put it to use. I would hate to share a cockpit with you buddy.
(for the record I still dont think a degree in commercial aviation is the best choice...too many eggs in one basket if you know what I mean...just standing up for those of us who did though.
