This thread is really informative! I'd like to add on abit with my experience as a TLAE.
I came from poly and joined the TLAE scheme at st aero. For degree holders, the only difference is $400 in your basic pay. The rest is all the same. You still have to pass the CAAS papers and need to clear type course, collect enough SOE and then try to clear the interview, all within the 8yrs bond. Having a degree does not matter at this point, it only gives you abitmore in terms of basic pay.
For degree holders, it would be useful if you want to become a project manager. Other than that... I dont see guys with degrees staying long. They normally use st as a stepping stone to get the license in Licensed Aircraft Engineer.
