Congratulations, there is nothing quite like seeing the world slip away from beneath your wheels and there is no thrill like trying to safely make it back down again. The challenge and pressures of commercial aviation are different but so too are the rewards. It is difficult to get a break for that first job and you will lose your job if you lose your medical. If you can complete your licences and ratings without risking your future financial wellbeing then go for it! If completing the training will leave you with massive debts which you will be unable to pay unless you can get straight into an airline job, then I suggest you think long and hard before you commit to the path of commercial aviation.
All the best and safe flying whichever path you choose.
