The real irony is that a degree does not prove a person educated or having achieved- just that he or she 'checked the block' for a long enough period.

Am I running down those with diplomas? Not at all. Just saying it's just raising the bar on pedigrees. A college degree is damned expensive- drawing the line with a degree really only raises the economic bar in alot of ways.

Nevertheless, I'm bumping along, working on mine. Just re-enrolled at ERAU online. Nice program that gives credit to rated pilots.

I'll have an associate's (AS) soon. Any weight given to that for an individual with a prior military background as well?
