Knowledge is good. I suggest you do your college too. A lot of jobs now being advertised, they ask some other qualification. Competition in the world is stiff. so anything extra you have can add as an additional advantage. For example, now airlines are advertising flying jobs asking for tonnes of experience flying, and on top of that they are asking for a degree or a diploma....mostly they do not specify in which field...so meaning a degree in botany, bee keeping, paper setting and printing....whatever you call it...but an additional degree would be an advantage, even in a field which is irrelevant to flying. AGAIN: Having another qualification also gives you a fall back position. Aviation is very dynamic and sometimes very volatile. There is no guarantee that you are gonna make it to be that 'big' 5 star pilot with nice uniforms, bags, huts etc... earning tones of money.... your second qualification could be far better and more viable and your life saver.....
