In my opinion you should do something that you personally would really enjoy. I went to Uni for a year, but was unsure of my direction, realised this, dropped out, and worked in the real work for a couple of years.
Completely unrelated to what is good for an aviation career, if you slog your way through something you don't love I'd imagine you'd begin to regret it.
In some respects a degree is a degree. Of all my friends who went to uni, I don't think any of them are working a in the field they studied in. However several of them have or have had jobs they wouldn't have gotten without a degree, even an irrelivent one.
