studying Aeronautical Engineering, pursuing my dream of becoming a commercial pilot.
In most people's books that's a contradiction in terms! FTOs and airlines (apart from BA?) alike do not state degrees as entry requirements, although whether they make you a stronger candidate for airline employment is debatable.
The degree would be useful as an fallback plan for if the flying goes mammaries-up, or if you plan to go modular and learn while you earn. Don't forget your uni debt though, although repayments are minimal it's still money owe!
That's very brief, I can't type anything too comprehensive at work, keep getting interrupted (how rude of my employers!
)
