If you are married and have children then I would say that your ship has sailed in regards to aviation. Let it go and forget it.

Outside of that last Saturday on the NBC nightly news the oil situation was described as an "Industry Killer". No one can say exactly what will happen however it seems like an awfully bad time to be considering this profession.

In any case you are facing huge obstacles and long odds. I would consider working until you are financially independent and then consider a career change into aviation.
