Questions before flight training

Hey,

im 16 and I want to start flight training next year but I still got many questions on my mind. Bring a commercial pilot is my dream job and I’m 95% sure about it. So, here is a few of my questions:

1. Should I go to university and get a degree? I’m very passionate about planes and I would love how they work and fly them. I want to study aerospace engineering and become a pilot in life, yet I’m not sure if the 4 years at university is worth it. Although, I also want stability.

2. Could 2-3 years be enough for me to get all my training done part time(except ATPL)? I’ve planned to start my training around 17(secondary 4 in Quebec) and finish around 3 years later at the end of Cégep. I plan to just get PPL before my secondaire graduation and finish up the othered in cégep.

If anyone finds my plan too unrealistic/unreasonable, please leave a few comments on how I could adjust my plan.
