Wise words. The airlines are looking for any 4 year degree; not necessarily aviation related. That being said I don't know if I would have studied any other field since I always wanted to be a pilot. Frankly I love what I do and as depressing as the industry is right now, I really don't see myself leaving it until aviation is extinct. So my two cents is follow your heart. Keep in mind if you do go the flying route, you have about six years to see how things work out. Four years for your degree and another 2 years instructing to get competitive time. And if you need to hedge, minor in aviation while earning your certs and major in a "safer" subject.
