I started my apprenticeship the same day as a guy who had a Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering. And graduated before him.
As Genghis said, your degree is more suited to writing repairs, engineering instructions/orders/authorities or maintenance procedures. In terms of the actual nuts and bolts of the aircraft, hand skills are what really matter. Sadly, in your situation, a degree doesn't equal hand skills nor is it likely to give you any credit for aircraft maintenance subjects. All it means is you know how to study, so the theory side should be pretty easy.
