Just in case...

Hi all, I posted a similar question on the D&G forum as I am in Australia, but I guess my question doesn't really matter where you come from.

Basically I am wondering what kind of options there are for pilots if you lose your medical and can't fly anymore. At the moment I have nearly finished my CPL but am thinking I should go to uni to get a degree as a back up, but I would really rather just get straight into flying instead of spending another 4 years studying.

So, wondering what other people have done, or would do if they lost their medicals. Is a degree very helpful If you haven't actually used it for 10+ years?

Thanks for your help
