I can't recommend enough to you do NOT get an aviation degree. What a waste of time. If you want a degree, get a proper one. If you want to be a pilot then train to be a pilot. If you want 'a back up plan' that people seem to go on about then do a PROPER degree and then train. As for the timing, why not get a job after you leave school, work for a year saving as much cash as you can and then use that for living expenses while training, and then consider the flying training at OAA? If your goal is to be a pilot and someone is willing to go guarantor for the money there is no desperate hurry to get it done right now.
