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.

But, right now, it is not.

I didn't mean to imply 4 years enlisted should equate to a 4 year degree. But, the military gives you a GI bill for education. Every branch of service will give you a 2 year degree, plus your GI bill.

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.

My buddy did an online degree through these guys, if you want to stay in the aviation lane. He seemed pretty happy with it.

If you live near a military base you can attend there. I completed my Bachelors degree at Nellis in Vegas 4 year cost me maybe 12K

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!

It’s the FBO at Kirkland, Signature, that offers classes.

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.
