I have a Juris Doctorate and played attorney for 6 years and missed flying so much I left a very sucessful partnership to fly boxes. At least the boxes don't complain too much or want to sue everything in sight. I am glad I have something outside of Aviation I can fall back on. I don't knock the aviation masters programs which are great to stay in aviation should you loose your medical when aviation times are good. If times are tough like now it is not only pilots in the aviation field that find thier jobs in jeopardy. During slow times I will speculate there are a lot of aviation masters degrees looking to stay in the airline industry which may not be hiring anyone during the tough times. My recommendation is if you have an aviation degree and still want a masters get something that interests you outside of aviation. If you look at airline websites they advertise for general masters degrees such as a MBA's ect... With the aviation undergrad they should still favor you in hiring, all things being equal. Leaving your options open to the most possibilities appears to be the wise decision in my humble opinion. Bottom line its your decision. Live life to the fullest. I'll stop rambling. Two years ago I was charging $125.00 per hour now I'm down to $0.02 but having a blast.
