Okay, I know that this has been talked about many times on this forum however, I guess I need some more advice or comments.
I have been in school for 6 years with only a few very short breaks. I spent 18 months in vocational school earning an A&P certificate then went to community college to get my associates degree. I then went to a 4 year college to attempt to get my bachelors. During this time I also earned all of my ratings through CFI and got a MEL and SES added to my commercial ticket.
Due to the fact that I have been so busy flight instructing and that I am completely burned out on school, I recently decided to give up pursuit of the B.S.. The thought of school makes me want to just...well throw up! I have been working my tail off trying to get through it all and I just can't do it anymore. I have experience performing mx on multiple big aircraft such as A319's, A320's, 747's, 727's, and a few DC-10's. I also spent 3 years in the Army (infantry not aviation).
I hear from some that the B.S. is paramount while others say it's more so about the person. My question is did I really shoot myself in the foot by withdrawing? I mean, I hear people say that airline employers look at the 4 year degree as a way of determining the commitment of an individual. I understand that. It takes a lot of discipline to sit through hours of powerpoint presentations, work in group projects, study, and get good grades but, MAN! Haven't I done enough yet?
