Check the thread titled "Pro's & Con's of an airline pilot career" in the "Leaving the Career" folder. Lots of good insight there.
Do you have $100K+ to spend on flight training? Are you willing to make $20K/year your first couple of years? Will you be happy living out of a suitcase for half your working life? If not, fly for pleasure, work to live.

What is it exactly that you doubt about going pro? All you need is motivation and desire to make it a career. Hobby fliers are ok with just being a weekend warrior. You also need the ability to take hits and keep on pushing because it's a tough career but very rewarding.
