Do you want to do an aeronautical engineering degree?
What do you hope it will do for you?
The UAS thing is a good idea if you go to uni.
Bear in mind that the degree costs money and you'll need a lot of money to learn to fly.
If your intention is to do the degree, work for a few years and then get into flight training, fair enough. If you think a degree is what the airlines (not talking about CTC/Oxford/FTE) want, then you're mistaken.
