A lot of people here will say it matters and is very important.... I am not so sure. It may give you a slight advantage, but having real experience (both in aviation and in other fields) can give you an advantage that some people with a degree may not have.

My advise would be to get started on your new career choice. There will be plenty of entry level jobs you will have to go through (instructing then small freight companies, charter, or regional airlines) to get to the jobs that may want a degree. It could be very possible to have time on your hands to work on the degree if you decide you need one, but I would not make it a top priority for a career in aviation.
