I used to have that mentality. Get a degree in another field to fall back on. BUt that has since changed. Unless its a technical degree (engineering/architecture) a degree is a degree, whether it be business, art, history, aviation, sociology, etc....You have to look no further than they airline you work for, to realize that. How many airlines require an aviation degree? None, just a degree. Most other companies ask for the same. Just a bachelors is all they ask for. I have yet to see an want ad specify what the degree is in.
I agree with propilot. If you have no experience in those fields, just a bachelor degree won't help you. If I lose my medical after 10 years at the airlines, I highly doubt KPMG or Accenture will take me on just because I have a degree in accounting. Nor will SmithBarney hire me because of BA in Finance from 10 years ago.
Fly_unity, Good luck on obtaining your degree. its well worth it. No matter what its in.
