Aviation Management/Systems Operations/Engineering/Design.\n\nDetails of the BSc Aviation Mgmt and Ops: This course gives you a broad understanding of the aviation industry and of core management competencies. You may choose either the Management Pathway, focusing on the management of airport, airline and ancillary businesses, or the Pilot Pathway, covering the foundation technical education required to be an Airline Transport Pilot. If you are following the Pilot Pathway you are required to complete practical flying training to obtain your Private Pilots Licence before entry to level 2. Unless you already hold a Private Pilot Licence you should plan to complete your own practical flying training between levels 1 and 2.\n\nYou are responsible for financing your flying training, which will cost approximately £4,000 for the Private Pilot Licence and about £20,000 to complete the Commercial Pilot Licence. To add the Instrument Rating, you will need a further £12,000. You should therefore ensure that you meet appropriate medical standards before starting the course. Flying training for Management Pathway students is optional.\nCourse structure\n\nYou study eight modules at each of two levels.\n\nLevel 1\n\nModules\n\n          o Introduction to Aviation\n          o Study Skills for Aviation\n          o IT Skills for Aviation\n          o Airline Operations and Procedures\n          o Airport Operations\n          o Introduction to Aviation Marketing\n          o Aircraft Operations (Private Pilots Licence theoretical subjects)\n\nLevel 2\n\nManagement Pathway modules\n\n          o Health, Safety and Security for Aviation\n          o Airline Business Management\n          o Airport Business Management\n          o Aviation Financial Management\n          o Work-based Learning\n\nPilot Pathway modules\n\n          o Aviation Flight Operations - Parts 1 and 2\n          o ATPL Aircraft Technical\n          o ATPL Aircraft Advanced Systems\n          o ATPL Aviation Law, Regulationsand Operations Procedures\n\nDirectly after level 1\nPilot Pathway students are required to complete the practical flying training for the Private Pilot Licence to progress to Level 2. You need to achieve the standard required for the issue of the Commercial Pilot Licence to obtain a degree. The addition of an Instrument Rating and successful completion of a Multi-Crew Cooperation course is required for the issue of a frozen Airlines Transport Pilot Licence, which is the minimum standard for entry into a Professional Airline Pilots career.\n\n\nManagement pathway students will undertake a work-based learning placement. These must be arranged individually.\nTeaching, learning and assessment\n\nAssessment and teaching methods include lectures, workshops, tutorials, seminars, field trips and guest speakers.\nCareer opportunities\n\nThe course equips you for a career in management and in supervisory levels of airline and airport businesses and other transport-related areas. The Pilot pathway satisfies the requirements for the Joint Aviation Authority (JAA) Commercial Pilot Licence and provides a springboard into a career as an Airline Pilot. European Joint Aviation Authorities Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) (if you are on the Pilot Pathway).\n\nI found another specific uni which gives plenty of info:\n\n"The CCBC Aviation Program offers a variety of courses to meet your needs, whether you are looking to take ground school classes, complete a degree in aviation, or transfer to a four-year aviation college or university.\n\nThis program is designed to be flexible to accommodate both non-degree and degree-seeking students. Students wishing to complete an aviation degree may do so one or two courses at a time, or may opt to take classes full-time t

I have never heard of a four-year university offering guaranteed job placement.  I suppose if you join the military and choose an aerospace-related specialization that you can earn your college degree while you get trained.

What interests you? Road and bridge building or electrical things such as radar signals, electronics, electric power generation, etc.?? To me that should direct you to the right field. How about Mechanical ? Mechanical Engineers have to learn a bit of everything - no specialization. Aeronautical Engineering is a specialized field that has gained a lot of interest. Ultimately, you will have to choose what you career goal is and go for it. Good luck.

A diploma refers to the physical paper that you receive after completing the requirements for a degree.  The word "diploma" comes from the Latin/Greek word meaning "folded in two," and is sometimes called a "parchment" in some English-speaking countries.  \n\nA degree refers to the whole spectrum of courses/tests/requirements that you must fulfill to be certified that you are well-versed in a specified field of knowledge.\n\nThis distinction is true in the United States.  In other English-speaking countries, a diploma may be a "degree" of lower academic standing.

I'm not sure what you are looking for but most (if not all) engineers obtain "science" degrees (for example Batchelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering - BSME) and practice applied science as opposed to pure science.  One distinction might be to obtain a Liberal Arts degree in chemistry vs an engineering degree in chemistry.\n\nOriginally there were only two fields of engineering: military and civilian (and we still have Military Engineers from West Point and Civil Engineers from many colleges.  As science progressed, engineering became far more specialized and we now have for example, electrical, chemical, aeronautical, marine, and industrial engineering, etc.  Most engineers take certain basic courses in math, physics and chemistry and the basics of many other fields of engineering than their own speciality (so that they can coordinate with engineer in other fields).  Hope that helps a little.

Yeah, I thought about doing that when I was your age too.  I never followed through on it, but I think its a great idea.\n\nAny scientific field could help you, but especially things like engineering or physics or meteorology or math would probably be helpful.  A geography program that has a focus on GIS systems might also be a big plus.\n\nBut there are some schools that actually offer aviation and flight training as majors.  Embry-Riddle in Florida is purely air focused, and Letourneau and Dowling both have aviation schools.  I think those types of programs would be far better than what you'd get somewhere else.  I think Ohio State has a program as well. I'm sure there are other programs in other schools, but those are the ones I'm aware of, and I think some of the better known ones.  If you go to a program like that, they'll direct you into classes that will be the best fit for your career. \n\nNormally, I'd suggest the Air Force, as well, and of course the Air Force Academy is free tuition if you get in.  However, with a war on, I'm not sure I'd go that route.  It's noble to serve one's country, but it's also dangerous.\n\nBest of luck to you.

A diploma is what you get out of high school.  It is also a certificate of some form of completion/graduation.\n\nA degree means you have been educated at a college or university in some specific field and you are now well educated in that area. (ie, a college degree in biology or something)\n\nA degree is better.  You can get higher ranges of degree, associate, bachelor, master, doctorate.  That is the ranking of degrees.

You can do anything you want.  College degree is proof that you are capable of learning and acquiring new skills.  Beyond that you have to rely on your work experience.

A trade school will teach you a specific trade and get you into the work force quite quickly if you pick a trade that is in demand and if you have an aptitude for it. Check the trade schools placement rates to determine if there is a demand for their graduates. An associates degree is good if you're interested in continuing on to get a Bachelors or Graduate degree. It is also good in certain fields, such as electronics tech and other professional workplace technicians such as medical. Either one, make sure you're serious about what kind of work you want to do, because it's just a waste of time and money if you're not ready to put your full effort into it.

You definitely need to get more information.  You say that you'll finish the degree in 2 years.  Will this be an associate's or bachelor's degree?  (The airlines are preferring the bachelor's.)  You say that you'll finish with a Commercial certificate; how many hours will you have at that point?  If you have minimum hours, just about the only available job will be as a flight instructor.  Generally, you can't make enough as an instructor to live on.  How far have you gone with aviation already?  Do you know you'll like it?  Do you know you'll qualify medically?  You wouldn't want to make big changes only to find out you also didn't like the new situation, or that you couldn't follow through.\n\nYour question makes sense, but the details definitely reveal that you shouldn't make the decision without getting more information first.\n\nYou might also consider other possibilities such as keeping the house and taking an equity loan, or taking out edcational loans once you're in school.\n\nBest of luck.

It depends on your goals. \n\nFor example, UMass Amherst, through their Stockbridge School, offers several associates degrees related to farming. Santafee Community College in Florida offers an associates degree in a program that trains you to work in a zoo. \n\nHowever, if you want to be a vet, you'll need a four year degree in a biologicial science, then you'll need to go to veterinary school.
