you have already proved to yourself and everyone here that you need to do more research.
I would have thought that by signing up to the forum, and asking people their opinions, he was trying to do that.
I'm not sure how relevant degrees are, personally. I think that on the one hand, you will have matured that much more, compared to when first leaving school. However, if someone wants to fly so much, then they may forego further education because their dream is so strong.
What I think is a more valid point, is whether you harm your chances by not acting as soon as you leave education. Surely someone that has applied for sponsorship, or started their training immediately will be a better prospect than the person who does nothing for a couple of years and then decides that a flying career would be fun. By this I mean those who do *nothing*, so all those who have gotten jobs to pay for flight training, I didn't mean that.
