Things to think about: Flight Training, Funding, Timing, Ground School, Self-Learning, Relationships, Education, ect..
Flight training: I trained at an FBO and didn't start until I got a full time job. Didn't borrow any money for flying so I would have done the same.
Timing: I would have loved to have started at 16, but due to money constraints I was forced to wait. It was a good thing because I had my bachelor's degree when I started to fly.
Ground school/self learning: Did the majority of my work at home and I thought it worked out just fine.
Relationships: One of my college professors upon learning I was an aviator warned me about "fast women." I have yet to meet any fast or slow ones. Only time will tell
