Question What should I do next?

Hi

I am 16, almost 17, and am currently flying to get my PPL. I want to be a pilot and have done for as long as I can remeber. I am doing my AS exams this year, and so am starting to have to think what route I want to take after A levels. I dont know what I should do! Should I go to Uni or not. I have heard arguments from both sides:

For going to Uni:
- At least you will have a dergree to fall back on if you fail a medical.
- I have heard that airlines prefer to employ people who ar a bit older than 18 and who have a degree.

On the flip side:
- What if there are no jobs when I come out of Uni?
- I know I want to fly - why wait?

I would be very grateful if anyone had and advice on what I should do!

Chris
