I personally think that if you can pursue a career in aviation, and not accumulate a huge debt you'll be paying off for years if it doesn't work out, why not try it and see what happens? Other than jobs where you need to have advanced education ie. medical, law, etc. You can pick up a job in let's say sales or management, and not be too far behind the eight ball 5-7 years down the road if you decide it is not worth the commitment and time to build hours and connections to land a top paying aviation job. I agree that I would rather be 28 and say " I tried and it didn't work out" than 55 and say " I wonder if I could have done it". It is obviously a big decision that nobody on here will be able to answer for you, but that is my two cents.
