Hello all,
I'm an eighteen year old high school graduate looking to attend civilian university in the fall, with the intention of gaining a bachelor's degree so that I can (hopefully!) become an officer within the CF. One thing that I'm confused about, however, is exactly how much my choice of degree will affect my career options within the CF.
For instance, say I wanted to be a pilot. Even though the job doesn't require any specific degree I'm aware of the fact that some degrees are preferred over others (for example, in this instance a degree in aerospace engineering would probably be preferable compared to a degree in forestry). However, let's say that aerospace engineering isn't my strong suit, but I happen to be good at history. If I wanted to become a pilot, would it be better for me to pursue an aerospace engineering degree and get average to mediocre grades, or should I pursue a history degree and get much better grades?
Thanks in advance!
