So what did everybody major in?

[Dominicinco]

Im working on an Airport Management degree from Farmingdale SUNY. My main goal is to be a pilot and fly for an airline and getting this degree is a backup in case of anything. I love being around airplanes and working at the airport seemed like the obvious second choice, but like some other guys said before, you dont have to get an aviation degree if you want to be a pilot, or even to work at the airport, im doing it because learning about airports interests me. At least, get a degree in something that interests you, otherwise you'll end up working at job that bores you and you'll keep thinking about that dream job you never got.
good luck!

AAS Electronics Engineering Technology from Community College of Southern Nevada

BS Professional Aeronautics from ERAU

Doing preliminary work on an MA or MS in Japanese Linguistics or Asian Studies from UNLV or UCLA.

The electronics background at least got me some good-paying jobs over the years. The aeronautics degree turned out to be both toxic and worthless. And the planned graduate degree will not generate much of an income either. But that's the field I love these days in addition to movie/television production engineering and aviation.

Gotta study what moves ya.
