I'm currently pursuing a degree in Aviation/Airport Management, so I have something to fall back on, in case I loose my medical or whatever...

I did the same thing, but now that I've tried pursuing airport management jobs I've found that they are as low-paying and difficult to get as airline jobs seem to be. I guess it's my fault for assuming that any "fallback" degree would be viable. Case in point, I recently interviewed for an entry-level (4-year degree required) job in Yuma, AZ. If I'm 'lucky' enough to get a call-back it still only pays $22,000/year and requires an 18 month employment contract (and you have to live in Yuma).

Well as we say in this business you can always be an insurance adjuster. I am in work comp and people always get hurt at work so there is always work to be had. The job itself is either love it or hate it, I am the later but it does pay if you deal with it. Most people in the industry have some class training but very few actually went to college like I did.
