Good luck man! Flying is pretty fun dont let people get you down especially some of the ones on this site. ERJ135 is right about the degree get it in something you enjoy other than "piloting" so you have a plan B. Something like ATC or engineering or bussiness would still keep you in the aviation feild.

Now here is the kicker...you need to decide what country you want to work in. A Canadian comercial certificate would require a conversion for US and prolly vice versa. I know many guys who have come down to work at the school I work at got the conversion and then went to work for an airline up in the northeast (colgan and express jet and a couple of others). Hope it helps.
