I would say go to University. You'll still only be 21 by the time you're done and have a great time. I did and am now 22 and planning on starting training soon. I fear I may graduate too early to be able to walk into a job though.
By the time you graduate the airline industry will be a good position and so will you be. Having a degree also means that if it doesn't work out for any reason, or you lose your medical at some point in your career, you have something substantial to fall back on.
