Can we get back to the DGI? Has anyone that’s ready for an interview contacted the company and if so what are they saying? I believe all the SSP and ETD people should be gone by June so DGI should start in July “ theoretically”

There are plenty of schools that don’t require $300k in debt. Those that pursue the expensive schools do so for the name. My 141 alma mater is less than $100k in-state and less than $150k out of state.

This is what happens in degree inflation, it grows unchecked till it collapses.
Anything is possible, but my alma mater prides itself on a good value and will only raise flight training costs as the market demands. I can affirmatively say that this same school hasn’t seen the same degree of degree inflation like others have. Again, value can be found if one puts in the effort.

Besides, you have one, so quit being a snowflake. If you want to work at DAL, get a degree. Argue semantics all you want, it’s a requirement.
I can’t remember anything meaningful that I learned in college except maybe the subject tittles now & days.
College Subjects:
Statistics and probability, and calculus’s ... i can’t remember details.
Greeks & Roman history.... can’t remember much. I do remember how they want us to believe Caesar was a bad hombre.
Aviation History... What did Charles Lindbergh do again???? I remember Deregulation in the 1970’s was a big deal.
Science: Amino acids & microbes sounds cool, I can’t remember what they are do without a google search.
Math: yes I remember a2 +b2= c2.... how that effects my life I don’t know.
I wish I learned about real estate, budgeting, stock /options trading, gardening and landscaping, plumbing, tech coding, how to speed read.

College is to teach you how to deal with problem solving from a variety of opposing viewpoints. However, opposing viewpoints are no longer allowed on campus. You can be expelled pulling that ****.

It's purposely worded like that, so time to complete degree can be a consideration. Contrast that with Fedex, that says, Bachelor's degree required.

First, they don't need to word it that way to be "able to" consider timeframe.
Second, it is well understood that "four year degree" is a bachelor's degree, as opposed to an associate's degree which is a 2 year degree. They are used interchangeably.
You make some good points sometimes, but this one is just ridiculous. By this logic, if someone takes 4 years to get an associates degree they qualify because it was a "4 year degree."
