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)
