An Aviation degree and $3.00 will buy you a cup of coffee.

Use your own material sizzlechest!

I was informally offered employment with Auburn University at $60,000/year starting pay without even interviewing for a job there. A Graduate degree will allow you to get employed by a university while pursuing your PhD...they make a lot more. Combine your Graduate degree with an associate professorship at a college that has an aviation program and you will find there are few people competing with you for a job.

Good luck

I would also suggest law enforcement or government work. Law enforcement will take about any degree. Flight Ops or training. Granted those jobs aren't as plentiful. There is also aviation manufacturing and all the subsequent positions that it takes to run a biz. Retail will take about any degree but the pay and hours are brutal. Go mil and get other types of experience. Wish I had the guts and the capital I'd own a business.

Use your aviation degree to get your MBA or some other masters program that you have some interest in. Even if you originally got a 4-year business degree instead of aviation what would you do with it? Get a entry level marketing job or junior sales associate job for 28k? Fact of the matter is you would want that masters degree anyway for the $50k plus jobs.
