aftab I guess it's horses for courses really. I have wanted to fly planes (BizJets/Airline/Instructor) since I was 6 years old on my first trip on a 747 to Florida, unfortunatly when I finished my A levels I didn't have £30k/£40k in my bank and I couldn't see anybody lending an 18 year old that amount of money to achive a dream job.
I went to Uni got my degree and I now work as a Web/Graphic Designer earning enough money to self fund myself through a £40k aviation school to gain the needed qualifications and hours.
Having a degree is a good back up just incase I can't get picked up by an airline but if I am lucky enough to get an interview I am sure the BSc will look good on my CV. Many will agree that if you get the chance to go to Uni do it, you'll learn more about yourself and life in many ways. Join the Univesity Air Sqn and get some flying experience under your belt.
Good luck
Egnatia looks like a top class school too
