Default Don't get a degree in aviaton

Get your degree in a field with good job prospects, do not get a useless aviation degree. Even if you manage to get this treated to the satisfaction of the FAA, for the rest of your life you are going to have to go for medical exams every 6 months and there is nothing stopping the FAA from changing their mind and denying your medical. If you lose your medical and lose your job, then how are you going to keep your health insurance?

I get that you want to be a pilot, but it would be smarter for you to get established in another less risky career path, and then fly when you want for fun.

If your family is very rich, then ignore my advice and do whatever you want. Otherwise, don't discount the enormous risk you face as a pilot with a serious medical issue and having to constantly beg and fight with the FAA for your medical for years to come.
