If you want to be an engineer and fly, I'd suggest mechanical, industrial or especially electrical engineering.
 
Let me throw my .02 cents in. I attend a school, that when I am done, I will have a AAS in aviation and at least a CFI. So, that being said, It will take about three years of teaching to be hired at a regional. Regionals do not require a four year degree. To upgrade to the majors, at best is a ten year proposition. With my current track, I will parlay my two degree into a four year degree with online schools. There is plenty of time in between to get that done. Remember the key to getting hired is flight hours, not necessarily your degree.

Getting hired where??
 
All I can say is that the instructors at my school are getting hired left and right by the Regional and Cargo carriers. Two year degrees with about 1500+ hours accumulated. They may not be hired at the majors, but they have accumalated a ton of hours in this program.

Wow, when did this program start?

Brian,

don't rule out the engineering thing. I am studying mechanical engineering right now and flying more than 10 hours a month at an FBO. I started flying when I started college and now 3 years later I'm darn close to getting my commercial and starting my CFI. It is definately possible to do both at the same time.

Okay, let me start fresh. Regionals do not require four year degrees. Many of the instructors at my school started at UND and the like. So what the instructors are doing is getting a two year degree, attaining their CFI and above ratings, and accumalting flight hours. What everyone seems to miss is that only the majors require the 4 year degree. So why waste the money on the big schools when a four degree from the "University of Phoenix" and that general genre will do. Get the ratings and hours. Follow up later with the schooling, there is plenty of time in between.

V-air where are you going to school? If you are out of KMIC and you speak of a two year degree and I am guessing it is The Academy.

No hours aren't the only thing, but having a degree, not a specific or 4 year degree, can make you hireable. Like I have been slowing finding out, ratings and hours are huge when it comes to breaking into the market.

So it is possible to do it. But is it a good choice? It is somethind I don't know how to answer to myselsf.
 
Brian, you should always remember you don't have to major in something aviation. For me, I might not even be attending an Aviation school. I've looked at other schools such as Dartmouth, Purdue - some really good schools for education. I'm pretty sure a degree from one of these schools is acceptable for an airline/corporate/freight. A friend of mine is a pilot for Southwest. He has flown with a guy that is an astronaut for NASA!! So, people get all sorts of degrees. Go with what you want and what is best for you.

I don't see myself getting a degree but anything else besides aviation.
 
Well I seriosuly don't know what I will do then. I actually wanted to go to Riddle and I may still do that. MDPilot here at the forums got an AE degree and he said he never used it as no one wanted to hire him since he had no work experience as an AE. So what good is it to have this degree when you can't get a job? If I was to get a more general kind of enginerring like mechanical or electric, could I still work like an aerospace engineer?
 
hi
I am in the BCC program. nice program and rather inexpensive. you can get a 2 year degree and transfer all your credits to FAU for a bachelor in business administration next door. There is an articulation program between the college and the university.
if you want more infos contact Jan shakespeare at 954 201 8087.
 
I noticed lots of people choose businnes administration. What can you work as with this degree besides a management position?
