I understand what you are saying. Its really been the only thing I've ever wanted to do. I tried out university with the mindset it would help me get hired when I went to flight school afterwards. I left Uni to finally start flying. I said ''zero'' flight time, but I suppose thats not completley true. I've done the whole intro flight thing, and backseated a few times. Overall, I think its something you know from day one if you want to do it, despite the costs and time to get where you want to be.
