major as a aviation management
hello there
i am about to graduate with a bachelors degree in aviation management and i was wondering if anyone else has a similar degree and if they have used that degree for anything else other than the degree requirement at the airlines. The reason i would like to know this is that i will be working on my qualifications and ratings once i am finished and i was wondering what kind of jobs people get when they get the degree and what those jobs would like to see other than the degree.

A BS in aviation management is still a BS so it checks the box. That said, it doesn’t leave you with a backup plan should you be unable to complete your ratings for any number of reasons.
If I were you, I’d talk to a counselor at your school and take the handful of classes it will take to get a straight management degree while you’re flight training.
I’ve got a BS in AVM and consider it to be almost worthless outside of aviation.

There are numerous jobs out there with which a degree in aviation might help you. I used mine to check the block to get into the military. IF that hadn't happened, I was going to use it to check the block for federal law enforcement. If that fell through I might have looked into many other aviation related jobs to include airport management or safety career fields.
Like much else - the degree is what you make of it and can open doors and rarely close doors.
