Becoming a pilot (Process: Good?)

Hello there. I am new here, and I live in Canada. I have logged 45 hours of flying time therefore i will get my PPL very soon. For 10+ years I've been dreaming to fly large jets for a living. This year I will be finishing high school then I will start college then university in Mechanical engineering in aeronautics, meanwhile i will be logging flying hours. Can a mechanical engineering degree help me to become an airline pilot more easily? My intentions are to fly either the Twin Otters for MAT( Maldivian Air Taxi) or for Ryanair that apparently haas a program for low hours pilots from 200 hours. Could you please tell me that after 5-6 years when ive finished my university degree and when i am with a bachelor's degree, how easily can i get a job with Ryanair with a self-sponsored training being Canadian? My ultimate goal is the B777 for Emirates.
