Hey Kent,

I'm also from Australia but unlike the previous commenter I'm only 16 and still have a little while to go before I can take some of the steps you mentioned.

Here there are University degrees specifically for those who want to be a pilot (http://www.griffith.edu.au/science/aviation/programs-courses). I asked a couple of pilots who are friends on which option would be best (i.e university or just to get your licenses from a flight school), how they got to where they are etc.. but the more I ask the more different answers I get. Some say the university degrees are useless, others say that they're great, so at the moment I think I'll just remember those words in the second last paragraph you wrote and see where I take myself.
