Do the degree, period. For you, not for the majors. You'll thank me later.

Military has an advantage at all the majors currently, so you have to overcome that with something like community service or a management position. Seek responsibility in your current (or future) company so you stand out among your peers.

Good luck in your pursuit of the "Golden Wings". They exist. And they are becoming easier to obtain every month.
