Quality Time
When you go for the interview at LLC, you will be called in on the quality and quantity of your flight time, not the possession of a 4 yr degree, the degree might make a slight difference between two candidates at decision time, but the pilot who started pursuing flight right out of high school will have his flight time sooner and be interviewing in his mid 20's as opposed to the 4 yr degree guy typically in his late 20's. And if the 4 yr degree is in Applied Flight Technology from South Bumblebee State, where you get 15 credits for all your CFI's, 15 Credits for your Comm/Inst. etc. and the recruiter compares this to the non 4 yr degree pilot with a CFI, ATP, the 4 yr degree will carry very little weight and personality will be the telling factor.
