Question
ATTN Sir/Mam
I am really fond of the aviation industry. At one stage I'd luv to persue a carrer as a pilot. I've always wanted to become a pilot, but now I've realised that I dont want to persue that dream forever. Now I also want to work in an aviation business. Now my question is, do I obtain my licences first and attend a university later or vise verser? Are there pilots like me out there? What would u recommend 4 me?

Answer
Allen!
Yes there is a lot of pilots like you. The best solution is an of collegies that will incorporate also pilot training. Another words like Embry Riddle has complete B.S. program that incorporate training for pilot licenses. So you should be OK. Another option is definetelly get your pilot licenses done and get some smaller air cargo pilot job and in meantime you can get an college degree online too. But again ideally it would be fantastic if you can coordinate both in same time.
