I want to get a degree and learn to fly at a school where I can bang out all the ratings. A pilot with Express Jet that I know has given me some advice, to do one or the other at a time. Both school and flight training at the same time can be too much on ones plate. Can anyone steer me in the right direction on the web or even this site, of where to look about the best 4 year degree in aviation. There are numerous degrees in the aviation world, and thats the path I want to take. Someone in the above posts mentioned getting a degree in something else, but there is no other field I care about. I want to fly commercial aircraft, corporate etc. If I get booted from the cockpit one day, or don't make it at all, I want to work in the field of aviation whether that be a mechanic, airport ops or ATC. I really want a degree to get into a Capt seat down the road. Please help me find the material I need to read on for a good school. I live in San Diego, and I have some funding through Major League Baseball to help pay tuitions. Thanks.
