okay here's my $0.02 worth.
I'm where you are at, but fast forward maybe 10-12 years in the future (I'm 32, group FC, earning >$150k, chartered accountant, blah blah blah) and I'm going to quit and start flying in Jan 2010.
However, if I could have gone back in time, I would have scrapped the accounting degree and gone straight into flying. Why? Accounting isn't the most exciting job in the world...its all about being overworked, underpaid and esp underappreciated by everyone (similar to low hour pilots I believe
). If your dream (as is mine) is to fly, then friggin stop wasting time and go out and fly. Get your CPL + ME/CIR done and head out to the world to do what you want to do. by the time you're my age, you'll probably be the capt of a B763 or B738 or A3XX or something earning MORE than what I'm earning BUT doing something you love to do.
Have I made my point clear?
