I started working on my private pilot rating several years ago before I left the Navy. It didn't matter what I had going on in my life at the time, but every time I got out of the plane, you couldn't get the smile off my face. I'd wanted to fly for as long as I can remember, but chose the Navy over the Air Force when I found out that I had to have my degree prior to becoming a pilot and wanted to be as far away from them as I could get so I didn't beat myself up (joined the navy and chased subs, no chance of dealing with jets).
Do yourself a favor and take 1 introductory flight. Get the feel for what you will be learning and see if the school that is closest to you, fits you. Unfortunately, not all flight schools are created equally and you will most likely have to find the one that fits you after looking at those that don't. If you get out of the plane and don't feel amazing and can't see yourself doing that on a larger scale, look for something else. Never chase the money. It will come when the time is right. If you start out without money, it is MUCH easier to move from one field to another and not get stuck doing something you hate forever because you NEED the money.
You're young and your whole life is in front of you.
