I'll second that. Flying is a great job, but it has a limited number of transferable skills to anything outside of the industry - heck, to even a few within the industry - should you ever want a break from flying or you are no longer able to hold a medical.


Get a diploma or degree on something you can fall back on; a trade certification is best - then you can earn a little more coin on the side and live a decent life instead of with mom and dad for the first couple years.


Too many young pilots focus on flying airplanes. Quite frankly, it gets boring after a while if you don't have something else to occupy your mind with.


Good luck!
