You have to understand there are many oppurtunities that a degree is forestry, liberal arts, physics,.... etc cannot get a person anywhere in terms of a good career. Aviation might be a very unstable industry, but the salary and benefits are definitely there, and if you have the passion it doesn't matter. Just get a degree in something you like, and if it is aviation thats fine.
well the problem isn't so much going for an aviation degree.. the problem is that a lot of the newbie's don't understand that you don't *need* an aviation degree to make it in this field - you just need *A* degree

There's where the conumdrum lies!

if folks *want* to go into aviation, that's fine.. but i wouldn't say there are plenty of jobs - aviation is not as easy a field (to find a job) as as business or another well known degree.
