Question Ratings or Degree first? Hmm...

Hey guys -

First off, let me say that this forum has been paramount for me in the past few months as to deciding where I want my life to go. The patients that all the users here show when it comes to answering the same questions over-and-over again with real relevant answers is amazing.

Anyways...here's my quick question. I'm about 10hrs into my PVT and I'm debating whether to continue into my ratings this summer, or start work on my degree. I dug myself into a hole in terms of GPA at the school I attended, so I'm looking at about 5 years to graduate from where I am. Should I use the summer (While I still have a decent paying full-time ANG technician job) to get some more work on Ins/Comm ratings and start school in the fall - or just get my PVT and start working on my degree.

Obviously, the degree is going to be non-aviation (Computer Science).

Thanks again for all the wonderful help and information found on this board.
