Google Earnst&Young, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Penguin Books, Google itself.... Many many Fortune 500 companies just ditched the degree requirement. Some want certification instead, some want life experience.
There are dozens of recent studies showing less and less correlation between degrees and success.
Again, having said that the airlines aren't there yet so this isn't really applicable to pilots.

This is an interesting read. It is not specifically geared toward aviation. This is my fav line "to focus on whether students are actually graduating in a timely way with a meaningful degree that sets them up for future success."

Well if you picked History, Art, Basket Weaving, or Gay Studies as your major, well yes, you r fu{ked.
My friend who has PhD in Gay Studies wonders why he is working at The Freakin University of New Freakin Mexico.

Bad financial decisions are bad financial decisions in and of themselves. It isn't the college's fault that they made that decision. Darwinism.
It has nothing to do with the issue at hand; that major airlines currently want to see a college degree or graduate degree.

Stop waiting for the requirements to change!
Should airlines only hire pilots with engineering degrees?
A college degree in folding clothes from a very inexpensive school/online school should be cheap & easy for you to accomplish. So get it done! Or don't be upset when those that did get the degree get hired before you, and you get the job offer only after you are best applicant out of the non-degreed pilots!
I wanted to be hired at age 18, and make Captain at 23! But I knew that I needed a degree to the top end job!
Read the who-still-waiting-call thread, there are lots of pilots with degrees waiting to be called!
