hi XTR3M3,
i will say No to TR. You have no idea what kind of job you will get. There is 1000 different ratings out there. You gonna take all of them?
Or take only, let say 737-classic and limit your self to search jobs only for that one?
however doing a degree is atleast ok,
try computing! lots of people do softwares etc!
good luck in your career
