A degree in Aviation Management is fine. But a degree in another field is better in the event things start fizzling out in the airline world… Oh wait they have.

Think of another field that would provide a motivation to get up in the morning to go to work… or even better to start your own business.

Bachelor of Science in Aeronautical Science. When I was furloughed I used it as toilet paper. I recommend getting a "real" degree and flying on the side.

Got an A.A. in Aeronautical Science but majored in Criminal Justice for my B.S. I definitely wanted a "back up," just in case. Good thing too, I ended up using it -- became a police officer for 3 years before getting on with a regional.

I have to agree with the concensus, having a degree will definitely open more doors. I have a BS and MS in engineering and consult on my time off. It has offered me a great way to make a second income.

I have a BS in Aviation Flight Operations from SJSU. Right before Delta went bankrupt a got $4K out of them toward a MBA, which I did on line. Still flying airplanes and never been furloughed... YET. Damned it, I'm too old and over qualified to do anything else now.
