I grew up a Delta Brat and also love airplanes! I followed in my fathers footsteps and became an aviation mechanic and have worked for AA for the past 23 years.. My suggestion to you is get a degree in something and if you land at an airline great, but do not think an entry level job at any airline will be a lucrative career without a degree...

You will have a better family life outside of this industry just for the simple fact that you will possibly have weekends and holidays off not to mention a steady shift to work...

Best Of Luck!!

This. Life sucks for a family person if you don't have time. Weekends, thanksgiving, Christmas, birthdays....yeah don't expect to get any of that for a while.  

For a single person its not bad, get to travel fairly easy when your off and gives a chance to see the world.
