I doubt that another degree would give you any type of advantage in getting a new job if you lost your medical. After about 5 years after you have a degree that hasn't been used (i.e. you did not work in that field) it just becomes a 4 year degree. If anything you are at a disadvantage, you are competing against people with either a brand new degree (meaning they have been taught the newest methods, on the newest technology, probably had an internship somewhere etc.) or someone who has worked in the field for 5 years, your chances og beating either of them with an old degree and not working in the field are not good.


The best advice is if you want to fly for a career, major in something YOU like, something that interests YOU. Something YOU will do well in. If thats an aviation degree, or a degree in Medieval History, or Geology, so be it, you just need a degree, so choose something you want to learn.
