Dilemma!!

Hello

What would you do in my circumstances...

I am 30 , have a family and have 2 hobbies that are my passion. Aviation and Photography.

I am going to university in september for 3 years to do a business degree and i want to make use of these 3 years to setup my own business.

I have 2 ideas...

1: Use the extra money i will have (student loan etc) to learn how to fly and then try and get my instructor rating and either become a full time flying instructor or eventually setup my own microlight flying school within the 3 years OR

2: Setup my own photography studio and learn to fly when i can

Before you ask i have been up in a light aircraft numerous times and taken the controls and know its for me. I adore being up there and if i hadnt heard all the stories about bad pay i wouldnt be having this dilemma.

I am going to need 30k per annum (wouldnt kill me to have less for a few years but would want to get to this 2yrs after graduating)

Please dont dimiss this as another silly thread , its a true dilemma and need some advice.

Thankyou

Ben
