To answer your question, I do.

Not being interested in "nothing else" is nice...until you lose your medical for something you can't control and don't know about until it's too late.

Then take your aviation degree and try to get a (good paying w/ good QOL) job in the "real world" and see how far it gets you.

I'd much rather see young pilots get a business degree in administration or something along those lines. Myself included...as soon as we finish buying the new house, the next thing on my shopping list is a degree.

I'm not saying you can't take the CRM classes...see how they fit into another major, just think about it logically and not emotionally. Hell, if it were up to me I'd fly a mid-size twin turboprop or light jet (King Air 200 or 300, CE500 come to mind) for $90k for the rest of my life. If I think it through logically and take out the emotion, I know that isn't ever going to happen. Some day, hopefully not soon, I'm going to lose my medical. My family has a long history of hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, congenital heart failure and a whole list of other things that are rather unpleasant (Cancer and Brain Aneurysms seem to run in the famly too) If I put my eggs in one basket, I'm screwed and so is my family if I'm no longer able to provide.
