I clung to the same idea that other experience should be considered until I finally went back to school. Shortly after I finished I was hired by a major.
I don’t regret finishing school, but I do regret I didn’t finish sooner. PS. Don’t get a degree from an online diploma mill, get a degree from a reputable university with a quality online program. This! |

That would be a true statement from many different sides depending on what the center is...
And I agree that 4 years enlisted with all else being equal should count as an equivalent to the 4 year degree requirement. But, right now, it is not. I still like the degree requirement. But, I feel military service, plus a degree should count towards a heck of allot! It probably says allot more than checking minority boxes, or going to a NGPA hiring boon-doggle. |
Good evening all!
Thank you for the serious amount of replies. My thoughts have been confirmed, I'll get to work over here! If anybody has anymore suggestions/tips/tricks to get me started; please do so! Thank you. Seb |

Get the bachelors. Don’t waste your time and money with the associates.
My buddy did an online degree through these guys, if you want to stay in the aviation lane. He seemed pretty happy with it. https://uvu.edu/aviation/degrees/index.html They like civilians to fill the classed and its is good for the military to network. My degree is from Embry-Riddle! Check into it! |

Any idea what an online bachelors degree costs? We're talking about it like it's a checkbox, because it is. AFAICT it's a $40k checkbox. May as well just have the applicant pay that money to the company or the union instead of some random fat cat degree scammer.
