If becoming an airline pilot is the target, I would heed the ANG/AFRES advice above. I ordinarily would not advocate delaying the completion of a college degree, but in today's current hiring environment I would try to knock out the flying minimums and get to a regional to build that time. If between now and the time that you EAS you can finish the degree, great but don't let it stop you from flying. You can certainly finish it along the way, and then you are still working towards furthering the flying. I was an enlisted guy for 6 years, finished school and was commissioned and went to flight school. If you do that on the active duty side, there goes the next 12-13 years based on training and payback for wings. Not a bad way, it was good to me but know that before you do it. Good luck, it's a great time for part 121 aviation.....opportunity out there that hasn't been there for decades.
