Hi mcfly87,

I wish I could go back in time and start this way. I have already an EASA licence in my pocket and at the moment I am struggling to find any kind of pilot job.

Aerospace Engineering is a great course if you can do it at a good institution. At the same time you can also start the PPL course.

There are a lot of companies that take cadets to train them to become a pilot plus at the same time adding a university degree in Aviation but hardly an engineering degree.

The types of degrees in Aviation that are mostly offered are in business and management related areas. Only a few offer the combination you are looking for.

For instance in europe Lufthansa is an example or

Your views of getting an engineering degree in Aviation its not bad at all.
What i suggest you do is to ask other people about their opinions, do your homework carefully, financial plans, DECIDE and then take actions.

I hope my opinions will help you towards your future plans !

I wish you all the best and a happy new year 2015 !!!!
