Just get an aviation degree. I hate it when people ponder what degree they should get if they want to be a pilot. If you want to become a pilot and nothing else matters then go for it. Having a four year degree can still get you a good job if your not flying.

No it can't.
How do I know? I'm unemployed with an aviation degree and I have applied for no less than 100 (yes, ONE HUNDRED) "real world" jobs. How many interviews have I gotten? Zero. Zip. Nada.
My GPA was 2.96 upon graduating with a degree in philosophy. Oh and I failed my first philosophy class too! Ain't that a hoot.
Nobody has asked for transcripts yet, nor have they even asked what my GPA is.
It doesn't matter.
Sorry but my belief is that non- aviation careers will for the most part ask for college transcript grades. Especially if one attended graduate school. I mean when one is fresh out of college, how much is going to be on your resume?
Aviation could be entierly different, since I have never had an aviation job, I can't speak for them
Hi Everyone, This is my first post on these forums, i hope that i am in the right section.
I am currently a college senior working on ratings and finishing up my degree. I first pursued college aspiring to be a Doctor or Dentist. And am currently pursuing a degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. However, after flying for 2 years now, i got the bug, and i now wish to pursue a pilot career. Some of you might think im crazy, some of you not. However this semester at college (senior year) i am having difficulties in my classes, very hard upper level biology and chemistry classes. I could drop these classes, and finish up next semester with a BA in Biology, or just tough it out and recieve c's in these classes and graduate with my intended degree? will my major matter when it comes time to be hired, and what effect will the difference in my degree have on my career paths in the future. Id though i would get all your opinions since these forums are very knowledable.
Thank you for your Help
Hey man I'm embracing my furlough! I'm teaching kids how to ski this winter, and this furlough gives me a ton of time to spend with my new wife. All in all, life ain't so bad.
every pilot i know that is a career pilot even flys there own private airplanes when they are not working. Thats when you know thats your true passion.
You're almost done, just stick with it.
I'm a junior in IT, but I'll be switching to a LAS degree (plus side is I can make it a BS by throwing in an IT concentration, if I choose) so I can finish up in time. If I would have known I was going to end up with such a broad degree, I would have just bit the bullet and studied aviation. I probably would have had more fun in college if I had studied aviation, too. This is shaping out to be the most boring and tedious four years of my life.
