Hi there
I am in a similar situation as yourself.
I am in my 2nd year of college at the mo studying A2 Physics, Computing & AS German.
I was looking at immediate sponsorship for the airlines as I do not want to join the RAF. But Since 11/09 and from what people have been telling me about Uni I have decided to go. hopefully the airlines will have re-started there sponsorship schemes again.
I have 35 hrs at the moment and am training for my PPL. I hope to join the UAS when I get to uni to keep my hours up (is that allowed??!).
One word of advice: really research the different aviation courses on offer from the uni's. Go to some aviation careers exhibitions like the Flyer/PPRuNe Intl. Careers in aviation fair.
Whatever you decide, best of luck.
Cheers, Tri
