aircraft designer, where to study?

Hi all! Hope this is in the correct forum!

I've been pondering on what to do if I can't get a job as a pilot. One career I came up with was aircraft designer or engineer. Not a mechanic performing maintenance tasks but one drawing or designing aircraft. However, I've got no Idea of where to study or so to speak, which degree to get? I know that design is no longer what it used to be as things seem to be more specified these days, eg. the man in charge of designing the undercarriage is not in charge of the flaps aswell... So obviously there must be range of degrees. What exactly do I want to look for in terms of subjects to study if I want to design a wing for example?

Grateful for any replies!
