Worth going to University?

I'm only two years away from finishing school and I'm in a sticky situation of what to do. I obviously want to be a pilot but I don't know whether to dive straight into flight school or go to university first. I hold New Zealand citizenship so I can apply for a loan in NZ which covers flight schools so I won't need to save up for years and get ahead in the industry. But people have advised me, for the social, independent, intellectual experience, as well as adding to my employability and to give me a back-up career if the airline industry collapses in the future, to go to university first.

What would you do in my shoes?
