Which degree?

Hi everyone!

im currently a junior in HS, in the Cambridge board (AS-A Levels). I've been passionate about flying and becoming a pilot since I was 5.

my parents are adamant that before starting training, I need to get a college degree. I wanted to take up aerospace engineering but it's apparently too niche??

would greatly appreciate if anyone could suggest degrees which have high starting salaries and have an easy pathway to becoming a pilot after completing my degree

thanks all!
