Degree proposals???

[brianjohn]

As I will be graduating with an associate's degree in May, and face the possibility of not finding a CFI job right away, what are some good options for a degree for someone in my position? I'm sure this will be an opportune time for me to finish a Bachelor's degree considering the market right now. Anyone have a degree in Aviation Business Administration? What is that like? I would be interested in long distance learning over the internet, but definitely want to do this part time only since my wife will be in school full time. What about schools offering long distance learning degrees?
I'm sure everyone would want to know my interests first, but actually there are probably only a select few things that I would not want a degree in-- so the options are pretty limitless.
BTW-- I will be moving to the Cincinnati, OH area, so any job ideas from anyone knowing that area would be appreciated as well.
Thanks for the help!

Nursing

It is the one decent paying job you can get anywheree, there is always a shortage of Nurses. My sister makes over 42K per year working weekends evenings plus one evening a week. Working at night as a nurse you would have all to CFI. I know it is not hight on the Macho jobs pilots tend to pursue, but it about making a living between jobs. This is assuming you feel you need a four year degree to pursue a flying career.

Degrees

Yip has an alright idea. There is a nursing shortage. Hours are flexible. I know of nurses who work 36 hours a week, but their shifts are 3 days a week x 12. Four days left in the week to fly. Your B.S.N. would let you check off that square on the app, help level the playing field, and give you a good fallback plan.

Nursing may not interest you, but the important thing is to get a four-year degree, in something, and from an accredited school. The point is that you don't want to start off disadvantaged by not having a degree.

Good luck with your plans.
