you can get the same job with or without an aviation degree. In my opinion it doesn't help you but if that's all you're interested in then do it but it doesn't leave you anything to fall back on. Sure you could go and get a job somewhere outside of aviation but you would make yourself a lot less marketable if you had only an aviation degree. Also in my opinion, there is a lot more fun to be had at a regular college and you get to know people in all different fields and these contacts may be valuable if you decide to do something on the side. Either way its all about preference but you can do this whole thing a lot cheaper if you avoid to pilot schools.
