Also you need to figure out if you like flying...go take a lesson or two at the local airport. Work on a private pilot license and then go fly around some for fun. If you still like it, only then think about a career.
Oh yeah, and finish college.
Finish college with a
degree that pays. Read the threads rickair points out.
I got a BS that is in demand and am able to fly on the side (clubs and co-ownership are the only way to go). I'm happy with the choice I made - just another perspective.
Best of luck in which ever direction you choose.
ps There aren't too many positive threads on becoming a professional pilot.
