Transferable higher education as a Pilot?

Post by Av232 »

So here’s the scoop

Just getting into flying, I’ve got a degree from one of the integrated programs in Canada. What is some higher/other education I can do that can serve as a fallback in aviation (management, technical etc) or something that can be applied outside of aviation as well?

I don’t mean a side job I can do as a pilot, I’m looking for more of something that will open more doors in my flying career or will sustain me if flying is no longer an option.

Thanks

Accounting and law seem to work alright if you want to get into management and provide a fall back.

If you just want to fly the line, just get seniority- no one will care about your other skills.

Another thing to keep in mind is recent experience. If you get a degree and then spend 10 yrs doing something else, a sizeable portion of degrees are useless. You might as well do them at that time.
