In the end, you have to decide if the fun of the flying (which may or not be fun depending upon what programs you work) outweighs the pain of the test plan process.
i could be wrong, but I am pretty sure the TPS website says that an engineering degree is NOT required as long as you supplement it with correspondence/local college courses.
I also just met a LT 2 weeks ago who was accepted with just engineering physics and calculus.
I heard they are now accepting ITT Tech grads.....
I did my engineering degree primarily to be eligible for TPS...
is that a joke or are you serious (sorry I can't tell from the internet tone)
