If you want to go RW then go for it, but if your ultimate career goal involves the left seat of a jet for a major airline or corporation then stay fixed wing. Definitely get your RW ratings, but do so after you're bringing in the big bucks at Southwest or UPS or whatever.
Military flying is a lot of fun, too, but make sure that the equipment you're flying lines up with your career goals. The exception would be like mine where I really didn't care. I wanted to serve my country first as a helicopter pilot and then change to a civilian airline career. Let me know if you want more info on the Army RW route and I'll help in any way I can.
The bottom line: have fun whatever you choose and whatever you fly. Most people will only get to wish they were pilots. And I encourage you to find a good mentor not just someone who tells you what to do. A mentor.
All the best to ya.
