It may help you if you one day want to work in management.

But even better... Major in Business with a minor in Aviation related studies.
What I am seeing here is some good discussion. A degree is certainly a must when you want to be a pilot. The good part is that you can finish a BS online, which means that you can continue flying.
When I finished my BS, I had to wait to appy at the regionals until I finished due to the class attendence requirements. With online you can take your PC on trips without having to go to class. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
A minor in business is a good idea as far as I am concerned. Aviation safety also comes to mind. Human factors seems to be emerging.
Try contacting all colleges with an aviation program. Do not allow yourself to be lured or pressured. Give the total cost a very close look paying special attention to fees.
