Absolutely. It's important to have a four-year degree in something that isn't professional flight. Aerospace engineers are in high demand and the pay can be quite good.

I did my private through my initial CFI while I was in college for business. I didn't even start flying until my junior year of college. I have watched my get aviation degrees that take significantly more money, and even more of a time commitment than I spent during college. I do not recommend getting a degree in aviation... always have a backup plan! You have plenty of time in college to learn to fly on the side if you schedule classes correctly. Good luck!


PS: Freight doggin' is a good choice. Boxes don't complain.
