You're probably well aware that the industry is on its arse at the moment, so no big rush. Also no need to think about the bigger picture until you've got your PPL done. Complete that, do some flying and build a bit of confidence (actually going somewhere helps, as opposed to most on this forum who seem allergic to landing away).

If you still fancy going the whole hog once you can actually fly an aeroplane then get yourself enrolled on an ATPL groundschool course. Chances are by the time you've finished that you'll have somewhere near enough hours to make you eligible to start your CPL. Take it steady in the current climate and get yourself in as little debt as possible. There's little or nothing in the way of jobs at present so no point rushing.
