That is pretty low, but I am sure that I want to join so is enlisting a bad idea? Will I have waisted my time on a college degree?

There is no benefit to enlisting with a degree; enlisting is great, just don't expect them to care about your piece of paper. Personally I'd recommend holding out for an officer slot, unless there's some specific job you want to do that officers don't do.
If you spent your college career partying, then no, you didn't
waste your time. If not, then yeah you wasted your time no matter what job you get.
Either way, just make sure you're talking to an officer recruiter. An enlisted recruiter is gonna blow smoke up your *** and try to get you to enlist. Seriously though, 8%? How the **** did he get that number?
Edit: Also, screw being a nav if you can be a pilot. Personal opinion here, but from what I've seen, being a backseater is all the shitty parts of flying and none of the fun. You do all the bitch work, plus you have some jackass up front trying to kill you.
