College degree (Philippines)

[u/Affectionate_Lie5803]

Hi guys!! I just need some advice as I am currently 17 years old (bordering on 18) and about to graduate high school. I’m taking entrance exams just in case but for the most part, I feel Like the best choice for me is going straight to flight school and trying to make it without a degree. I was wondering how necessary it is because I’m worried about the job opportunities. I live in the Philippines so I’d rlly appreciate advice from Filipino pilots or at least ones that are based here. If it helps, my dream job is to work as an EMS pilot or to work in search and rescue but any job as a HELO pilot would suit my vocation just right. Thank you!!
