The value of an unused four dgree in the job market is greatly over rated. How many pilots with four year degrees have had the experience of becoming unemployed after being out of school 20-25 years, you will find your degree does not open many doors, expect those jobs such as "Apartment complex manager, college degree prefered". I have posted many times, if you want to be a pilot, you fly airplanes, if you feel the degree is required to get hired at DAL or FedEx, do your degree on teh side while logging Turbo Jet PIC, BTW V70T5, I am a retired reservist, I only wish it was that big.

when the employment you're looking for says "4 year degree HIGHLY preferred" like FDX, CAL, SWA, B6, UPS, etc...
SWA and B6 don't put any emphasis on the degree whatsoever.
Still a great career, no need for a college degree, there is a growing pilot shortage. This will accelerate as the hiring boom continues to grow. $100K/yr is a very doable figure for pilot who is a high school grad, as I said still a great career.
Every large aeronautical university is going to make claims like ERAU has.....
Do you really think someone would pony up $100k if they said the job market sucked right now??????
Not to mention that it is programs like this that are absolutely killing our careers. These places have just taken the bartending school model and turned it into pilot school. Any wonder we have no bargaining power?
