Default Degrees

Do you guys think it matters if I got a degree from a community college vs. a university at an airline?
Thanks

Shouldn't matter, either one would show your 'ability to learn' so to speak.

I seriously doubt that the airlines will care about that. It's cheaper to go to community college and you will most likely obtain a good education. That's my input on it.

I agree, I highly doubt the airlines will care which University or College that you attended. As long as you get a degree and get a good education out of it, what's the difference?

Except community colleges usually only have two year degrees, you're going to want a four year for a 'major'.

Other than that, I don't really think there is a difference. At least, I hope not.

I think it is based on how long you were taking your course, because as I have researched (I am in my Junior year looking at college's) is that most if any community college's DO NOT offer 4 year degree's. The reason why I pointed that out is that the little check box that says 4 year degree on it at whatever Regional or employer you apply to in the future would not apply to you if you have your associates or whatever is less that 4 years.

Thats my knowledge

You want a four year degree from an accredited university.

No, ifs, ands, or buts, get the degree!

Segs, there's no reason to yell maing....

The only reason you'd want an "accredited" degree anyways is if you plan to go back for a graduate degree. but you definitely want a 4 year degree in anything in order to move higher than regional status.
