A degree can be used as back up if you lose your licences due to medical problems.
There are chief pilots, head of operations and others that held important operations in Airlines that do not have a degree at all.
So if you think that a degree can improve your chances of employment and have a great career, you are wrong.
A degree can still be useful though.
Personally, I have recently graduated from high school and going straight to flight school in August.
