No debt. A great nest egg because I got hired at a legacy with a degree. Do I use it? Yes. Everyday. There's is a difference. Those with the degrees understand. Sorry if it comes off wrong, not trying to be a jerk. It's just something I believe people should do. The most important part is that the people doing the hiring think this as well.

So much easier than actually going to college and getting a degree to get hired today, right?

But that's not exactly the spirit of a forum, is it.

True! How many thousands of people are applying to Delta, United, AA... you have to make yourself the most marketable. Or go somewhere you don't need the degree.

It is their show; they set the rules, regardless of if any of us think it makes any sense or not. We are joining them, they're not joining us.
The majors have a 4-year degree required right now, and there's no sign of that going away any time soon. Even the dropping of many 1K TPIC requirements doesn't mean that suddenly it doesn't matter if you don't have TPIC anymore.

I was around during the PFT dark ages.
Pilots are now in demand. Enjoy it.

Last I checked the majors wanted a degree unless you did a flow path.
