Most pilots don’t have a degree I believe, but the fact is that they *could* get one
Rob

I don't have a degree, I did go to Uni to do a degree but got told not to bother going back after the end of the first year, and the degree was Mickey Mouse in comparison to the one you are doing I didn't even do A levels, they would have been way too hard, I got into uni on the back of a BTEC course. I also only managed 5 'O' Levels at school. Like you, I mistakenly thought that there was no way I could be a pilot, till somebody told me that you really don't need to be all that bright, and that was it, I gave up my job within 3 months of that info and went to get my CPL/ATPL. Did I find it hard, yes, very, especially the mathematical subjects which are usually the ones that people take as bankers to pass, yes, I failed loading and Perf E, but with determination I got there, and I firmly believe anyone can do providing they want it enough.

Just because your degree isn't going well doesn't matter one jot.
