I think that society places too much emphasis on a college degree. If you’re going to into law, engineering, or medical school, it provides an essential foundation for more advanced training. If you are going into sales, service, or any of the trades it just isn’t worth the money. Vocational schools provide excellent training. The legacy carriers still think that it’s a big deal though, so if you want to work for them, use this down time to make sure that you can check that box. None of them will be hiring for several years now anyway, so you have the time.
