Hi! I’m currently in college pursuing a business degree, but am interested in becoming an airline pilot! i’ve wondered if continuing the degree and finishing it out and then going to flight school would be a good option? i’m just not sure what the pros and cons of having or not having a degree at all. would it help me or would it be more beneficial to just go to a flight school?
thanks!
George,
First while it’s not a requirement, the Majors still give preference to pilots with degrees so it’ll help you there.
Second as you’re not yet a pilot and have no idea if you’ll be successful or not, it’s always a good idea to have a plan B.
