'I am new to the aviation world (in terms of work, have been an enthusiast for as long as I can remeber) and am only 23.'
At your age all enthusiasm had been knocked out of me. By then I was running 30+ aircraft and hating every one that went tech. Lost all interest in aircraft at about that point.
15 years on, it is my trade, sometimes wish it wasn't.
FAA qualified at the school you state, working to get C&G when roster permits. (Exams 2 x per year distance btw). A whole year lost through roster shortfall.
Get an entry level job and find out if you like it first before you commit mate. Then sell your qualification process to the employer.
