Questions about degrees
 

So i just decided to make this since i havent found another post like mine.

current situation-

I am 20 years old, just got out of ATP a couple months ago, flying banners at the moment with plans to go to a part 135 or something at around 750+ hours, and finally the 121 world.

my thoughts-

I want to do college online since it would probably be easier than having to commute.

Get a computer science degree and learn to program and use it as a freelance job to do when i am on layovers, days off, etc. However. you are not necessarily required to have a BS in comp sci if you want to do freelance programing.

I have my CMEL, CSEL, instrument. As far as i am aware, i can only use the ratings i have towards BS in aviation science... I do not believe there is a way to use my ratings towards any other degree. (correct me if i am wrong please:confused:)

I could just find a college online that gives the MOST towards my ratings (I really do not enjoy nor have i done well in school.... at least general studies. So i would like to get as many credits done with as i can with my ratings) and get a BS in aeronautics or whatever aviation BS i could use my credits towards.

I really just need to get college done with and get that 4 year piece of paper. I just need to find the best/fastest way to do it.:(

Aviation ratings will probably not give any credit towards general requirements, or anything other than aviation science.

Yes, you need a degree. Unless it's holding you back from a major airline right now, probably best to get a useful degree like CS, just in case you ever need it someday. Even if it takes a little longer.
