If you are going for sponsorship get a degree it will show them you can study, but in all honesty all it is is a piece of paper I passed my ATPL's with my own hard work I have no A levels just 6 GCSE's and I managed to get a airline job after 11th of september.
I just prove the fact you don't need a higher education to be a pilot, you know the real reason that more people are advised to go to uni? I'll sum it up in one word 'MONEY' the more people who pass A levels go into uni the more money they get and that is what it's all about, exams are getting easier to make more people pass which equal more money for them.
This information is also from a lecturer at the local uni, it is a fact because so many graduates end up in Burger King working for £3.50 an hour, you know why they can't get the job they studied for because the employer knows they know ****** all and that is the way life is, but get the degree if you are looking for sponsorship because it will help you but that is it, you may pass the course but you may fail.
It's tough in the real world
