Which path to take?

Hi all. New here and hoping I've found a new online home!

I am just about to (re)start on my piloting journey and am trying to decide whether to jump straight in onto a CPL path or stick with the PPL path. Deciding to do my CPL now, at the beginning, would work out a little cheaper in the long run.

My main goal, like anyone here I'd imagine, is to just be in the air as much as possible. I don't necessarily want to become a commercial pilot but I do want to find any reason I can to be flying once I have my licence.

I know that I can buy a share in a plane and/or hire one once I have my licence but would it be more economical to go with my CPL and get a part time job that would involve flying?

I know that most answers will be opinion based but its those opinions based on experience that will help me decide. Thanks in advance
