As eloquently alluded to above, I would hold off parting with a substantial sum of cash now on an ab-initio course. If you are just out of high-school I'd consider some college course for a few years (preferably non-aviation related) and see what state the industry is in down the line. In the meantime maybe do a PPL if you want to get flying but I wouldn't go any further than that. Just my 2 cents.
