Am i going crazy?

Hey Guys!
So I just finished year 12 yesterday (yay! only exams to go =] ) and i want to pursue a career in aviation as a commercial pilot (like alot of people here) but ofcourse being a young whipper snapper dont want to be in debt 50 grand to the bank. So my plan at the moment is to go to uni and get a commerce degree (majoring in accounting) and work for a couple of years while similtaniously getting my CPL/ATPL.. i looked at the rex cadetship and found it to be utter Cr*p and im guessing you guys would agree. my only other option is the CX cadetship but im not counting on that. so would it be wise in this day and age to get a degree in something completly different and work in that profession for a while and flying on the side? cheers =]
