Nuclear Physics.

So I will have something to fall back on when I get furloughed.

Plus, airshows wont pay the bills unless you are female, or your last name ends in Tucker or Chambliss.

Exercise science/Human Physiology. I wanted to learn about the vessel that carries me through life and how to take care of it so I can live to surf and fly till I die. Plus dad always pushed me to get a degree in something other than aviation just in case I take a hit at the airlines.

B.A. in Political Science...I wish I had majored in Economics instead. Nobody wants to give me a job due to my degree.

To add to this a little: Does having a Masters help when pursuind a career as a pilot? Would it help enough to delay getting hired at an airline to pursue it?

I am seriously considering pursuing a Masters after completing my Bachelor's but I don't want to miss this upswing that we're in right now.

Aerospace engineering for me, although by now I'm pretty sure I don't remember a thing from calc.

I got a B.S. in BS, which is an Aviation Technology degree. If I did it over I'd get a major/minor in something besides that, like management or some econ courses
