College or Work?

Hi Guys,

Apologies in advance if this is in the wrong forum. I'm just about to finish up secondary school. I'm going to do fairly well in my exams and could go onto college but it just seems like a waste of time as all I've ever wanted to do was be a pilot. But unfortunately I dont have a rich "Mummy and Daddy" to fund me through flight training.

So I'm just looking for your opinions on whether your better of going to college and getting a degree under your belt and then saving up the money which would realistically be at least 10 years before I'll have anywhere near the money required for flight training? or just go straight into the work place in an aviation related environment(e.g. ramp agent, cabin crew) and start saving now straight away?

Any advice is much appreciated.
