If you want a career in aviation, go the military route. Preferably fly big, heavy aircraft.
You get the best training, will not enter the flying job market deeply in debt and you will be on most airlines' short list when the time comes.
It is not an easy road, no matter what route you choose; the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is not as big as it was in the past. The single pilot commercial cockpit is probably going to be a reality within your career span, so movement up the seniority list could be painfully slow.
If you don't like to be away from home, forget about flying. Flying, by its very nature, takes you away from home. Be a dentist. As far as fractional flying....forget it. You'll work harder and get paid less than if you work for a major.
