I had a choice at university when I was on the air squadron.
I absolutely loved the flying so the question was did I want to do it in the military? Did I want to do it commercially? Did I want to do it as a hobby?
In the end I decided to have it as a hobby and have never once regretted not joining the RAF (The idea of being a commercial pilot was never really in the running)
It appears from the post that the idea of being a commercial pilot is in part a distraction from the boredom of your current job.
So do a PPL and see what you think and also while you are at it see if there are other careers outside construction that might suit.
