Was in the same situation 7 years ago myself.
It was only when he said to me - do what you really feel is right, that I realised uni was the best option.
Good to have a back up career, good fun - some on the best years of my life. Whats more, all flying and nothing else makes John a dull boy.
You can always have a year off (I did fATPL's / instructor course in it), and fly at uni.....
