It is quite interesting to read the posts from when this thread was started (April 2001), and how the attitude to degrees, and their importance has changed.
As an 17 year old in second year of A-level studies, I feel i should be going to uni, however, i see it as an unecessary debt and would only be lengthening the time between now and my goal (airline pilot).
What are the current views on Degrees? Are they necessary, or would A-Levels get me where I need alone? I currently have my AS levels: Maths (A), Physics (B), Psychology (B).
