This point is made clear in the threads to which I linked in my earlier post, but it bears repeating: do not take an Aeronautical Engineering degree because you think it might help you become a pilot. It won't.
Take AE because it's a subject you love and want to know more about. If there is any doubt about this, don't take it - choose something you are intrerested in. No employer (airline or otherwise) is interested in a course you failed because you couldn't maintain the motivation. AE is one of the most difficult and intense courses available to an undergraduate; it deserves to be taken seriously. It may be a door-opener for prospective aviation engineers (well, it ought to be!), but it most certainly isn't for pilots. Take a degree in Advanced Crochet and Underwater Basket-Weaving if it really interests you; it is just as valuable in the pilot job search.
