Std Deviation

Depends on the tier of law school. If you're going to a tier 3 or 4 school you're going to be making 80K a year working 100 hrs a week. Advantage is you can go to a tier 3 or 4 school usually at night, effectively keeping your day job. Tier 1 schools (Univ of Michigan, U of Texas, Harvard, etc) don't offer night classes. So your got the opportunity cost of loss of income in addition to tuition costs.

The same feeling pervades most online "life experience" based degrees. Aside from a couple extra letters on a business card or a credential required to open a door (i.e. "we just need a masters") they are not looked upon as a true education in the specified field. If you're going to be using the advanced degree to "practice" (i.e. psychology, engineering, etc.) they want to see that you actually attended class, participated in a practicum/internship, went to lab, etc. One benchmark is the entrance exam. Is one required? GRE? GMAT? In other words, can anyone get this degree by writing a check or does it truly differentiate performance?

If you just want to get an MBA as a resume builder just go to any online program (Keller, university of Phoniex), these options are cheaper and far easier then the ERAU programs. If you are looking for an Aviation specific degree ERAU MBAA is a great option. My understanding is the DAB on campus MBAA is the only one that is fully accredited (I spoke with my ERAU advisor about it last week). The online has better flexibility for classes but the on campus has the accreditation if you need it for a specific job. I am not sure about how the accreditation works as I don't really need it.

Currently working on my MBA Aviation online through Riddle. Its a decent program, nine week courses, lot of forum discussions and writing. Do the work verbatum like they say in the grading outlines and you will never have a problem with getting a decent grade. Doing about one class every nine weeks and it will take about two years to finish.

Like most people are saying, there are more cost effecitve ways to get an MBA with a little more broader scope than just aviation. Go Riddle if you are getting significant financial aid in some form.

100% dead balls on ! An aviation degree --- other than an aero engineering -- is about as useless a thing as you can find.
Go to your local community college and get certified in HVAC... If you really must; get your A&P license. You will never go hungry.

That's not quite true. Pilots tend to think that they only thing they can do with any kind of aviation degree is "be a pilot", and if they can't, then they get out of aviation completely. There are hundreds of specialties you can get into where having that degree is helpful. Whether it's worth it is a bigger question, as is what you pay to get there. Paying for full undergraduate + pilot training + master's degree would be insane. That's probably 200+K, especially with any interest. Aeronautical engineering is very good, other specialties are ok, as long as you have the open mind about what you could do in the industries and government. Just as one VERY small example: a number of people are doing aviation consultation. Although experience here is good, a decent aviation or aviation management degree probably backs that up pretty well.
