Blastoff. Thanks for your opinion. It differs from the vast majority, but that's cool. Heck, I went to Riddle and I'm anti-aviation degree.
The main thing is that people get the four year. I suggest a second area of interest outside of aviation to put more eggs in ones basket. Those who still opt for an aviation degree, more power to them, as it's better than no degree at all. But as a proud holder of a 4 year degree from Riddle, I feel pretty safe in saying it was a total waste of time (outside being able to "check the square" and learning how to drink massive amounts of beer). If I had do overs, that's one of the few things in my career I'd change.

Stay in school
Stay in college. Most major airlines will require them in the future, if they dont already. Im about ready to grad. from Eastern Kentucky University with a B.A in Science and it was long and tough but in the end I know it will pay off. If you want to fly for the regionals and only regionals your whole life then you dont need a degree. But if you want to fly for the majors then stay in school and get a 4 year.
