HELICOPTER PILOT JOBS do I need a COLLEGE DEGREE? 

 

Another question from a member! My opinion is that it just depends on what job you want but I am also for whatever education you can get, so yes, get that college degree if you can. I was fortunate enough to build on my career without a college education, but I'm guessing that more and more pilot jobs are going to require an education.

I've got another question for you Kenny. I've been doing a lot of research on how to be competitive once I'm done with my training. From what I've seen, pilots with college degrees are more competitive than pilots without degrees when being considered for pilot positions.

Do you agree with that, if yes, does it matter if you have an aviation degree or is a degree in another field just as valuable. I have a BS in Computer Science and I'm getting ready to start the Professional Helicopter Pilot program.

I realize I have to build up hours to be eligible for positions. I also realize that the first job for most pilots is being an instructor to get started. Beyond that, does a college degree matter and how much? Thanks in advance! HELICOPTER PILOT JOBS do I need a COLLEGE DEGREE?
