My personal advice from someone who was at that fork in the road when I was about 20: Try to make a good living or a business somewhere else and then enjoy aviation as a hobby or a business tool. I'm so glad I did it this way and didn't go down the path of trying to be a commercial pilot. I would have been miserable by now.
Today I enjoy a career I absolutely love, where no day is the same as the other, where I'm my own boss. It has allowed me to own my own plane and use it for both business and pleasure.
