Honestly...i think you should go after both. Like a prior post on this thread... have something to fall back on. Figure out which you love the most. I personally went into IT as a primary...made a ton of cash doing it...lost it...made some back..spent it all on flying schools...made it back..got sick and tired of doing IT...then became the company pilot. Do I make as much as being the CIO? Heck NO! Do I love my new job more then anything else...HECK YEA (although I have to admit when im not in the air i still end up doing IT..have to stay employed I guess).
Dont know what school in your area is going to be the best overall for you....know a few that went to Embry Riddle in AZ...one is now flying for an airline. The other ended up sick and tired of it and is now going after his phd. Military will get you to your goal but be willing to give your life for it (literally).
Best Luck!
