Default Re: Obtaining an advanced degree while flying

I am not a regional guy, but I travel quite a bit nonetheless (very similar to an airline schedule). I agree that the online deal is about the best thing going. I am doing an MBA/HRDV degree and find it quite manageable. I work full time, do GA flying about 2 or 3 times a week, am taking 2 classes (9 week terms) and still have plenty of time to myself. I tried 3 at once but found that a little harder to handle, but still doable if you are motivated enough. A weekend/evening program might be doable, but probably only with enough seniority that you KNOW you will get the schedule you bid.

As for being wiped out after flying...after 9/11 I was flying 21-30 days STRAIGHT away from home. I was home for 48 hours MAX before I did it all again. My flight duty periods were about 26 hours then 12-16 hours off. I was taking 4 classes at a time online (two of the classes: physics and accounting). It was VERY, VERY hard, but I did it and got 3 A's and a B that term. So, it's all about your personal motivation!!!
