Charles Lindbergh did start college at Wisconsin Madison, but dropped out. His father was an attorney. As a child, his father was a United States congressman. So I suspect money was not a barrier for him to attend college.
What you say is true. In my family, my father was the very first to go to college. My grandparents, all born in the late 1800s, averaged a 7th grade education. Even though it was free, only one attended and graduated high school. That one exception was because she wanted to teach in a one room country school. All the others thought high school was a complete waste of their time, when they could be working.

Ok...that's usually the intro to a bizarre and asinine assertion:
Yep....like clockwork...
Quite true. Thx.

Do you have any information that indicates degrees are not preferred to the point of essentially being required at US majors? Would you have any advice you could offer other than mine, which was to get a degree online?

All aviate paths require a degree. Weather you go to the aviate academy, or go to one of their designated colleges, or are a family member of a united employee, it's required.
A degree is simply a "ticket to ride." The Beatles wrote a song about it.
