University/College degrees?

Engineering Degrees?

I work at NASA. Johnson Space Center . . .engineering degrees is what matters most. . .lower on the totem pole and really not given much consideration are the technology degrees.

Math and computer degrees work well from what I can see.

It's not just aviation. It can be said for some other degrees. You can get a non-aviation degree like accounting and go straight to flying. A few years down the road if you decide to quit flying and try to land a job in the accounting firms, chances of getting hired are very slim because your resume does not show you having any auditing experience. If you do get hired it'll be for a office boy position doing filing and stuff making 20k a year for several years before they give you full time work as an auditor. They have fresh college grads who are in tuned with accounting since they haved been doing internships throughout school so why use you? Companies look for work experience in the field more than anything else today. So eventually any career changer will have to start at the bottom all over again. I have seen this happen to my former roommate when he went from electrical engineering to network security. His engineering degree was applicable in many fields but in the IT security he needed his luck.
