I too, am a big proponent of education...BUT...
In a few years, it will still be possible to go to school. However, the good movement we are currently seeing in the industry, may not be still occurring. I've watched several of these cycles come and go. This is a prime time to enter the market....why not wait for the downturn in the flying side of the industry, to step out and finish your degree or other education?
Just a thought, certainly, statistically, you will make far more with a degree - any degree - than flying airplanes! Depends on your passion.
