Also, if I didn't ever plan to fly airlines, regional or otherwise, would I still need to get a four-year degree?
No, but lack of a degree would make it tough to get into the best corporate flying jobs (the ones with stability and benefits).

Yes, very high demand but that's airlines only because most other countries don't even HAVE an aviation industry other than airlines. All that corporate, 135, 91 stuff is pretty much US only. You will need previous airline experience to qualify for Asian jobs (usually captain, but sometimes FO). Possible rare exception for Cathay Pacific...they hire a few low-time pilots off the streets.
