Advice on double major (aviation + accounting)

[zomzom]

Hello
I’m currently trying to decide whether it’s worth double majoring in Commercial Aviation and Business concentrating in Accounting.

I’m mainly considering accounting as a backup option in case something happens to my medical.

I’ve been looking at programs like the University of North Dakota or San Jose State University, where it seems possible to add a second major, but I’m not sure how realistic it is with flight training and the overall workload.

Do you think double majoring in accounting while doing flight training is worth it? I know it would be difficult, but it seems like it could be a solid backup.

I don't think accounting is worth it. That will be automated quick. Aviation neither? If you're quantitative and are interested in going to school, I'd say "get your ratings" on the side part 61, and get a math or engineering degree? And I say that as a guy who wishes he had more knowledge about accounting after being on hold for the IRS for two hours today to figure out what form I needed to submit to pay my quarterly taxes properly? Still, I would not put my collegiate eggs in two automation prone industries right now.
