Personally... I wouldn't go near a degree in aviation at all... I would go for one in a more academic subject that you can use as a backup...
(I think this is the 3rd post I've said this??
)
I decided to go to University and Study Law where I got a student bursary and a part time job. The Degree is now a backup, the job is also a backup and I have a better income from Uni/Part time work than I would going full time...
I've been paying for my flying which will get me my PPL by late this year/start of next year, I graduate next year with my law degree and I will be going onto to do my ATPL theory from August next year onwards. I will have
zero debt before I start my CPL.
