OK,
Now just to be different i'm going to recommend this: While you are young get all your flying training done, all theory and get a job and start BUILDING HOURS! When it comes down to it no-one in aviation will employ you without the basic quals. While your building hours you can study your degree part-time by correspondence. This way you could be in your early 20's with 3000-4000 hrs 3/4 of a degree (1/2 of which will be credited to you) and look much more favourable above a the uni grad with a bare commercial and a degree with a total of around 150-200 hours. This is just my opinion, It worked for me to make it to the big time.
Cheers all
(edited to change the smiley face, thats all)
