I cut my losses and moved on, but it was very difficult with an aeronautical science degree. Please don’t listen to the propaganda from the big aviation universities and academies. They do not have your best interest in mind. Some form of a backup career or degree is an absolute must.
I’m in my last semester of my 2 year aviation degree and I only enrolled because I could get access to my student loans. My school allows me to transfer from the school of aviation to the school of business and get a 4 year degree in supervision and management from there. I’ll just take a little longer to get my bachelors because I’ll be flight instructing and focusing on that instead.
