math
 

No matter which college/university you go to, If you don't test into the required math class for the degree you will have to take remedial math classes first.

It educates and cultures you a little bit beyond the GED, yes.

I'm not asking the easiest way to get out of it. The point im trying to get across is... what college offers the most credits for ratings. ERAU requires me to take pre-calculus, calculus, and statistics. Even though I placed high on my placement exams I still need to take three maths to graduate. Yeah working full time as an FO makes it a bit challengening at times. But do I regret not going to college for 4 years after high school? No. Because I think being 21 years old and in the regionals is great. I'm not up to my neck in studnet loads. I just didn't think it was worth it to go to ERAU main campus.

While having a degree in something is nice, making it a requirement for a job in an occupation that does not require it is nothing more than a way to weed out applicants.

Look, I have a degree in Bonzai Tree Culture! Box = Checked.

try to go to a state university with a physical campus. Texas A&M system in Texas has some with full online degree

Did you graduate high school? All of those were/are common high school classes.

Thomas Edison State University is a good deal. Much cheaper than Embry, and more credit hours swap if you already have some college.

A degree is often little more than a piece of paper saying that you're trainable, and just a check in the box. Why make it more difficult on yourself?

Do you have a plan B? Embry Riddles name carries more weight than the others mentioned. Those math classes can lead to a B.S. Degree which is far more valuable on a resume than a B.A. Your young right now, but you still must be prepared if you should lose your medical. I suggest a computer science, B.S. degree. You NEED to be qualified in another field other than aviation. Trust me, your regional FO job is a million times better than any entry level non skilled job waiting for you in the real world. You want options.
