GET A DEGREE OTHER THAN A FLYING AVIATION STREAM DEGREE.
A management degree in aviation as a bare minimum, why? At least you can streamline it into an MBA or gain credits towards a degree that you can walk into a job after graduation....A paid job!
Study hard, have fun, enjoy the brotherhood and what Uni has to offer!! Way better than a flying school riddled with smoke and mirrors! (Not all)
Once degree completed, start flying...You will only be 21 with 40 years of flying/aviation in front of you. Enjoy the path to become a pilot, if you are in the UK head down to Africa for fun(don't whine and carry on, it's great for the soul). In OZ, we have the outback. Gain your hours camp out meet other pilots (network)...
Just my 2 cents worth....
