A degree doesn't make you a better pilot, it is however used more and more as a filter when the recruiters look at applications.

What a degree does give you, is another string to your bow. When Great Airlines Inc goes bust you'll find that an ATPL and thousands of hours command on the latest and greatest flying machine, are often not considered usefull qualifications when it comes to securing alternate employment.
