I'd tend to agree with Bateman...
A BAv for a new CPL ain't going to secure a job and does have little recognition outside aviation.
However any degree no matter what it is shows a persons ability to acquire and use knowledge. There will be at some point during any career where having a degree will distinguish you from someone else whether its a BAv or not...however you could suggest that a pilot doing a BAv is putting all his eggs in one basket so to speak. I would recommend doing a degree outside of aviation in business/economics or management...not one of the airy fairy feel good degrees like psychology/arts etc
Even if you are a dedicated and committed pilot that only wants to fly, with the competition around these days a useful degree will either distinguish you from the mob or give you something to fall back on if things dont work out.
ATPL and MBA
