Steady on Tunny, you've only had one interview as well. Just 'cos I can't do that funny handshake that you boys know so well......
Seriously, though, tunny makes a very good point about having a fall back, and at the moment that doesn't mean aero eng (unless he means the bru..).
If you do intend to do a degree, do it in something you are genuinely interested in, and do bear in mind that aero degrees are a lot of physics and maths with a powdering of 'real' aerospace stuff on the top. Also bear in mind that bachelor's degrees are no longer accredited, ie you need a masters now to get chartered.
Since you're still but a slip of a lad, I would advise that you do some work experience in all areas that interest you, aviation or otherwise and work hard and enjoy yourself at school, by the time they kick you out with an a-level or three, you'll hopefully be a lot clearer on your best path.
oh, and do some flying if you can afford it, you'll soon know if you have to do it....I had my first bash (in a jetranger) comparatively recently, and wish I had gotten up there a long time ago...ah, for a class one and a big bank loan....
ps, tunny, I think you mean fortuitously, unless you found the atpl really scary....
