Should i bother ? Too little, too late ?

So i've spent the last couple of weeks reading this forum and wondering about life in the flying world.

I'm 26 years old and i have built about 45 hours on my PPL, im looking to hopefully finish it all in the summer. i've spent about 6000 pounds of money i've saved whilst working.

After reading all the posts about lack of jobs, i've been wondering, should i continue my normal job in the world of Aircraft Maintenance, which pays a normal yearly wage or should i push and continue my dream to become a commercial airline pilot.

So far i'm debt free, but is it worth living my dream ? Or just bite the bitter reality that seems to be.

I see that if i want to do my CPL it might take me about 4 years without being overidden with debt.

Just wondering what all you guys and girls out there think.
