Jordan S :
Well, I don’t really want to spend much money on college…
I already have many backup plans if aviation does not work out for me, so a four year degree is just something I don’t want right now.
Instead I thought getting an Associates degree at my local community college would be ok.
I looked at a lot of Airline job applications and it says to be competitive you should have some college…
I think this is a good idea because it will allow me to spend more money on getting flight hours.
What do you guys think?

yea its enough.
when you go in you need to go through tons of training. none of that stuff you will earn in college.
Yes and no.
It is true that airlines prefer you to have some college, so an associates degree is definately a good idea. But it may not be enough. Most major airlines prefer you to have a bachelors degree, and will most likely pick the pilot with the bachelors degree than the one with the associates (with same amount of experience and hours).
Getting your bachelors degree shows that you have the drive to stick through things for long periods, and thats something they want. Not to mention the so called “college education”.
You go and find out, Jordan. Have fun.
