South Africa Or Australia?????

hey guys
ok.....now u gotta help me solve this riddle......but before, little background as to what i am doing.

originally from a third world country, bangladesh. doing my bachelors degree in an american uni. planning to transfer my credits to australia(uni south australia have accepted me into their commercial aviation program) . however, i have this other option of continuing with my degree and doing the flight portion with the best school in south africa. the end result......a bachelors degree in commercial aviation if i go to aussieland and a degree in political science with licenses from south africa if i choose the latter option.

now, which one would hold more credentials out of the two? any suggestion would be appreciated.....

take care

Couple of questions

Who is the flight training provider in South Australia?
There are some very good schools there.
I guess the real question is do you want to fly and which country do you want to fly in.
Do you want a degree in political science?
Note, neither licence is easily transferred to JAR.

fair enough

I am not sure who does the flying training in South Oz. Might want to ask over in Dunnunda.
Well, if you want to fly then I probably wouldn't worry about the political science degree. The aviation degree should give you some electives to study in either psych or management so that should "round" out the education a tad. I haven't heard any thing bad about the South Oz degree either.
South Oz is a pretty good place to fly in. Not too busy and plenty of space. Adelaide is a nice city, not too expensive and quite a lot of fun. One of Australia's best kept secrets.
I know a couple of chaps who have gone back to Asia with Oz qualifications and have done pretty well.
