Bachelor's in Aero Science...required?
Before you say anything about using the Search feature because this has been discussed 100's of times, I'd like to let you know now that I have. I've read (trudged) through all of the flight school/college debates on here and have seen all of your varying opinions on which route to take etc. The main thing I've come up with is that it is indeed a good idea to get a B.S. in something other than Aero Science (or whatever the university of choice calls it).
My question is this: Do you think that it is possible in the near future for airlins to start requiring Aero Science degrees because of the number of applicants? It seems logical to me to think that airliens would look to stem the flow (flood) of qualified applicants by adding on to the requirements for hiring. And I would think that changing the B.S. degree to a required Aero Science would make sense.
The again, this is based on only a few months of research into all of this (I only recently decided to pursue this career field, I'm a senior next year in high school). Right now I'm tryig to narrow down my college decisions and I'm debating Aero Science by itself vs. Meteorology with Flight (ala FIT ) vs. Meteorology by itself and flight training on the side. If an Aero Science degree is ever required (or if anyone evens begins to think that it might be) I'll definitely go for that option.
Any thoughts on this?
