I agree, the best thing would be to get a 'proper' degree, but with the cost of tuition fees as they are there is no way that I would be able to afford a degree and then flight training.
I have spoken to Jane Brookfield on many occasions, and its great to hear that you are on the course and enjoying it! I presume however, that whilst the other students are in Florida doing there PPL's, I would also be out there doing my hour building?
The other option that I've looked at is the new Cabair Pro-Pilot course, which also looks to be a very good course which suits my financial situation (No Integrated route for me I'm afraid). This has no degree, and I suppose I just worry about failing my medical five years down the road and having nothing to fall back on
