Oh good well that sounds important, I'm glad they make more money than half my sonar supervisors and reactor operators

Degrees held by people I personally know in aviation (pilot or NFO): History, Political Science, Economics, English. I will caveat that I don't have any experience with recruiting or the officer accessions pipeline (other than going through it), but I seriously have never heard of the type of degree making a difference for most* communities. In fact, there's an (apocryphal) notion that people with aerospace degrees actually have a tougher time in early flight school because they're not really teaching/testing for true aeronautical knowledge, just that you can study and remember what you're taught. (that being said, most guys with Aero degrees do just fine provided they're not shitbags)


*exceptions being Nukes, and maybe IW or some other weird ones


There's a contractor/reservist O-3 who works on our avionics software and was an instructor for our current department heads / a contemporary of our current crop of COs/XOs. Cool as poo poo, though a weird combination of "laid back LT" and "O-5 era experience".

Major doesn't matter for nukes either. Poli Sci, Communications, Astronomy, Music, Business, Forestry Management, all on my submarine within the last couple years. As long as your GPA is good in whatever bullshit major you pick and you can swing a B in a couple calculus and physics classes you're golden.

If you ask me the nuclear navy needs *more* liberal arts majors.
