No I am not from the UK. I am neither asking about backup or help to get a first job. My question was regarding career progression as a pilot.

A normal airline pilot without any further qualifications would probably spend his life flying from A to B while maybe upgrading to captain and changing types or airlines etc.

I was wondering whether an engineering degree could help me take on other roles later on. I donīt know whether my degree in political science and business economics could help me but perhaps I could enter management or work with JAA questions. I donīt know but, my question is regarding these things and not if I can become a prime minister or not! I want to become a pilot whit the qualifications enabling me to work with other aviation related things later on.
