You're rather snookered if, two or three years down the line you end up being one of the 14 out of 15 students who didn't make it thru Pilot pipeline. Chopped, depressed, early 20's, no quality degree, staring at the bottom rung of the next ladder, no paddle
Hmmm... I would say that you're actually in quite a good position.
I would think that most employers would rather have someone with a few years of RAF Officer experience than someone with a degree in basket weaving. I do see your point about premier league degrees though but most degrees are not premier league.
You are young and have a lot of life experience compared to similar aged graduates and have no debt (If you’re sensible with your pornstar wages).
Yeah, you might get depressed but I’m of the opinion it’s better to ‘celebrate the life than to mourn the death’ sort-of-thing.
