Do I have a degree - Yes
Did it help me get a flying job - No
Why? Piloting is a trade, not a profession.
Because piloting is a trade, within the 'profession' of aviation, you do not need a degree, especially when you are starting out.
However, I totally agree with Kellykelpie, that later in your career, when you have already logged the type of flight time required for another flying job, the qualification and the connections can only help you with a career in management etc, but that's not really about piloting anymore, is it?
From someone who lost their airline job in March, every job site around the world only requires two things: B737, A320 etc Endorsement, and over 500 hrs on type, (plus the ability to work anywhere in the world, be there tomorrow at your own cost, and pay for your own accomodation etc).
