...ive always wanted to go for choppers-career wise,it's honestly my passion,
Doesn't that answer your question?

There are less jobs for rotary wing pilots than for fixed wing, but there are also less pilots. Therefore, I would say that the chance for getting a good job is almost equal. In my part of the world (Germany) some of the most sought-after jobs (rescue/ambulance) go mostly to ex military pilots, the waiting time for civilian trained people can be quite long. At least that's what I have seen with helicopter pilots I know.
