I am confused. Are you employed, on furlough, or both??
Anyway, lots of places will give you college credit for your flying. Try ERAU online, and also.. the University of Memphis. You can make up your own degree program there, and gets credit for your flying ratings.
Think long term... not where you want to be today, but where you want to be in 3-5 years. If you go get the degree now, you have a terrific story for a future interview, and it will make you look great.
