Hi there,
well, I'd recommend to get a degree first, before getting into aviation and preferably a non aviation related degree, to have something to fall back on in case it doesn't work out with an aviation/pilot career. As already said, a degree preferably not aviation related, since an aviation degree itself won't be an advantage nor will it "buy" you a job in the cockpit, what matters much more to the airlines is if you can safely pilot an airplane from point A to point B. Best wishes and good luck!
