So SOTA...

[EndersFinalEnd]

I've been lurking the forums for a while now, and I finally have a question to post. Thread after thread I see the advice to get a degree in SOTA. What I never hear, though, is what degree. The question boils down to this: Is there something aviation employers (I'm looking at A/P, not piloting) look for that isn't covered under traditional aviation curriculum? Perhaps something like a Business Administration type degree or something with computers? Thanks in advance.

Just get a degree in whatever you want. Most employers look for "a degree." A degree outside of aviation does not guarantee that you will land some high paying job in another field without experience.

Thanks. I wasn't really sure if the advice was specifically because aviation employers look for other skills or if it was to have some sort of fall-back in case one gets laid off.
