Same Sit

Hey,
I fear we are in the same boat perhaps? I am just about to sit my A levels and yes i also fully intend to become a pilot. I have spoken to some people 'in the know' and they all suggested to me that if you want to become a pilot, and have the ability etc to do so, then you shouldn't bother with a degree. I am intending not to go to Uni this September when all my mates are, i will hopefully begin flying training in Aus/USA. Having said that a positive aspect of going to Uni right now is the fact that the market may have improved by the time you leave, plus there is the uni 'experience' that everyones talking about.

This is just my opinion and that of some pilots and an aviation consultant. Don't take it as law, try and see wot other prooners suggest with this thread.
Good Luck,
Dozza
