or getting my licence is the only option?

I agree with Jerry L as I have a few friends that graduated from Embry Riddle. Even though you have a degree, you will still be required to obtain an airframe & powerplant (A&P) license to be able to work on an aircraft. Getting the degree just gives you the necessary requirements to take the A&P written, practical and oral exams. Once those are passed, you will be licensed by the FAA.

Here are a couple of good aviation schools where you would have more options than at a state college.
I graduated from Spartan with an AAS degree over 20 years ago, and they have a Bachelor's degree program now.
Embry-Riddle has up to Master's degrees in some fields.

Are you talking about AP License or Structural Repair? Once you've completed the basic courses you train on the specific aircraft your going to work on. If your looking for free schooling and experience, plus pay, room & aboard, holidays and vacation time too, plus additional benefits that go with it. Talk to and Air Force Recruiter. Oh and I forgot... World-wide travel Too.. FREE

Here are my two cents.
I'm an A&P technician and I got my job because my boss has hired about 6 A&P's from local schools and has regretted everyone of them. They graduate with theory and don't know how to work on the aircraft so he decided instead of hiring from someone else he will just train his own damn mechanic.
Plus instead of paying to go to school you'll get paid to go to school. You'll have two and a half years of work experience and it will take you exactly the same amount of time.
