Flying is incredibly fun. It is also challenging, rewarding, and enjoyable (until crew sched forgets to apply the lube)
As to Bryant- None of those major carriers will hire you if you don't have a 4 year degree.
I won't discourage you from flying as it is a true joy to me and could be to you as well, but if you don't have the degree, that is slamming most of the higher paying doors shut. If you're gonna dive in, go big or go home. Don't limit yourself by not getting the appropriate academic education.
