I agree it can be overwhelming and difficult to understand. It's extremely difficult to find a job as a young pilot these days but the schools will never tell you that. It would ruin their business if people knew how many unemployed pilots there are.

I would advice to start out slow and get a PPL or learn to fly gliders. In the mean time you could study or get some work experience in other fields. This way you'll get in contact with aviation and can learn how the system works. You could at the same time get new contacts which could be useful if you later decide to go for a career in aviation.

So think hard before gambling on a integrated course. There are other options.
