is it sensible?

Hi all,

I don't want to start a debate but just would like some inputs from pilots and/or engineers.

After gaining a commercial licence and not finding a job ( of course being broke, not having any money to fly let alone pay for a TR ) would you consider studying for a degree (if you qualify for student loans ) as a future backup or save up for an FI Rating? For those pilots who already had some Mechanical or Aviation related degree beforehand, it must have helped great deal during the ATPLs of course but would you have done that degree had you known you could have had a job as a pilot just with the pilot's license in the first place?I mean did it help having a technical degree/experience for getting a job as a pilot?

Thanks
