I would get a career that makes money first. Then throw that money into the bottomless pit that is aviation as a hobby /side career later. (well I wouldn't now but definitely what any newcomers should do)
Flying in any context is absolutely not transferable at all to other industries and should never be a first career.
I come from a privileged background and didn't have debt and found a job soon after my training. But it's not the first time I have to pick up the scraps when the flying world stops hiring and you have no other professional experience.
