Degree vs Type rating

Hi Guys.

Just came across an article in an aviation magazine concerning a degree offered for professional pilots. Now with the current climate in the industry I'm considering the option of boosting my career. I've thought about a type rating but very skeptical about its advantages in finding a job without time on type. Now I'm toying with the idea of doing a degree in Airline Transport Operation, found a couple places that offer the degree, London city Uni and Waterford Institute.

Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestion on it. Would it be more beneficial to do a degree or a type rating to help advance my career as a pilot.
