If you would like to learn about the aviation world i would look into an aviation related degree. Some people will say to get it into another area to fall back on, but I don't believe in it. What I am doing is majoring in Professional Aeronautics and minoring in Safety- there are plenty other carears that you can use you aviation degree in if you choose like the FAA or NTSB. It is possible to do your pilot certificates/ratings and go to school, but in my opinion it's a better idea to get your education done before you embark into the life of a pilot since your schedule is constantly changing. Good luck with this awesome carear!
