if you want a career in aviation now is the time to start. it's hard to start, but the long run makes for a good living and a fun job. stay in school, get a degree and figure out if you want to do airlines/frieght/corporate/charter/airtaxi/etc. There are so many ways to make a living flying, you are bound to find something that suits you. Just be prepared to ride out the tough times this industry always experinces. Thats what the degree is for. If you get laid off/furloughed, you will have something to fall back on.
