Im currently enrolled in a 2 year 141 flight program at a state school. At the end of the flying and ground courses etc etc you end up with an associates degree in applied science. Now, what most people do is get their bachelor's degree by taking another 2 years of courses at another state school 45 minutes away. This was my plan as well, but Im really not sure if I want to bother with this. A bachelors degree in aviation science? Does this really even matter, to anyone? As far as I'm concerned, it's just a piece of paper to get your resume to the top of the pile. Most of the courses overlap anyway, so its just a rehash of what I know.
It just doesn't seem worth it to me taking classes I dont want to take, spending money I dont want to spend, for a degree that isn't much help at all. I don't even think college is right for me. Could it be laziness, or I'm just plain dumb? Maybe, but the last time I checked Biology and a P.E. credit (ie, bowling) have nothing to do with flying airplanes. Anyone here felt the same way? Of course I could go the route of getting a bachelor's in a completely different field for a fallback, but I think I'd be miserable spending 4 years learning something that has nothing to do with flying.
