thats exactly what doing an non-core acdemic subject in a degree is - a 3 year piss up!!!!
Did mechanical engineering myself which pays quite well, so it wasnt a waste of time for me, it is what you make it i reckon!!!!!
If you are an A-level student and go into flying straight away, well your just plain mad in the head!!!! no-back up plan or anythin...
You might of learnt the most from your a-levels but what job outside of stacking shelves at tesco's are you supposed to get without a degree these days!!!!
