I guess my first question is do you have a 4 year degree. If you don't, you need to get one first. You simply aren't going to get very far as a professional pilot without it.
Most of the people that come on here asking questions like yours already have a private or even an instrument rating. You would be starting from scratch, and that changes the equation.
Whether you have a degree or not, you should pursue a private certificate first. See how that goes, and re-evaluate. You will never regret having one, and assuming you stay healthy, you can use it for the rest of your life...
