why not teach? you can re-write history and claim it as gospel.
I was thinking of maybe getting a history degree instead of an aviation related degree, just in case aviation completely falls on its face. But what is a History degree good for? Or maybe an English degree?
In other words are those just kinda generic "look at me I proved I can get a degree" diploma's or are they more of a feeder into specific job areas? And bc I know someone will say it, I dont want to be a teacher.

ahaha yeah thats a good idea!
Why not write gospel and claim it as history?
Probably good for teaching jobs...

All good callings by the way.
i think you nailed any liberal arts degree there.
A degree is just a piece of paper and doesn't prove anything.
get an aviation degree u noob, and work as a air controller, they get paid good money and theres plenty of jobs in that field....
high stress, but yeah, good money/benefits
My BA in history hasn't done much other than prove I can get a degree. For anything career -related other than high school or lower teaching, you need a MA minimum. Fields are limited, btw.
I currently do departmental business administration in higher education. So - HR and accounting, or not degree related at all. Just required for the position.
Not sure what kind of 'aviation' degree you're looking at, but if it has to do with maintenance, there will probably be MORE demand rather than less given the current economy as companies and people will be trying to make their planes last longer rather than buy new ones.
ehhh...do you even know what youre talking about? plus controllers are gay and there is no way i would spend all day sitting in a dark room staring at a screen of blips.
its just a bull degree. professional aeronautics. doesnt mean anything. i already ahve my a&p licnese so i don't see any real point in getting a maint degree.
Tell that to your Doctor next time you go in for a checkup................
getting a Masters. All the people I know that got degrees in History in 2007 are getting their Masters in something right now, whether it be history, theology, higher education, etc.
Through my time in the real world (i.e. two years) I've noticed that things that have an actual ending, like "nursing, medical billing, computer science, etc." get the job faster. You're trained for it so much more easily. Go for the aviation, hands down. It may not sound glamorous, but while all my friends and I are making 27,000 a year in our fancy non-profit job (a la stuff white people like) you'll be making 60,000 a year.
hmmm...i guess maybe i should have posted this in the original post but i am planning on being a pilot. even if i wasnt a pilot what job would i make 60k a year in with an aeronautics degree? and if yall dont already know this, pilots don't make a ton. ill be lucky if i clear 20k my first year with a regional type carrier or cargo carrier. and thats after having to do time building from around 250hrs to over 1000.
I think most people who major in history have dreams of working in museums, or in politics or something like that. It takes a lot of experience, persistence, and the right network to get to those kinds of jobs.
Why not add history as a minor if its something you love? Then when you travel and have time you can see all the things you study?
I'm not steering you away from history, I mean, I'm still not sure what I should have majored in. Some days I think I should have majored in biology or neuroscience and others I think I should have majored in PR/Communications or even Political Science or Public Administration.
i dont have any real reason for picking history. i just am looking around at other non aero degrees. somehitng to fall back on if my pilot career doesnt work out and my mech career doesnt work out either.
pilots make a tonne of m oney man, wtf are you on about
you hear about them in the news sometime laundering money or flying loads of drugs in and out of the country.....
F**** that crap. Paying a bunch of money for some "aid" to give me a diagnosis and never see the real Doc? No thanks.
I know people with Masters who aren't making that much more than I am.
History isn't a fallback career oriented degree. No liberal arts degree is. They aren't useless, I'm glad I got my degree in history, as that is what interested me (and I don't think education should be about career, but that's a different argument), but it certainly isn't a career type thing. It'll get as far as any BA will - which isn't terribly far these days.
In all honesty, anyone (you included) would have to be really dumb or not show up to work to not have either of those degrees pan out.
why dont you go learn a trade or something?
i think its better than finding a blue/white collar job position....
