I've heard this before and originally i was planning on doing this but then i looked into the universities that offer flight school and figured if i got my 4 year degree and pilot licenses at the same time it would cost about the same and would save time that can be used for hour building. Also, i did some basic tuition costs for the full four years and concluded that in the US it would be like $150,000 USD and in England it would be $100,000 USD (just course costs, not living expenses etc.) Would the "2 birds, 1 stone" approach work or am i overlooking other aspects?
