Dreams vs Money???????????????????

Okay so for many years now i have been contemplating my career choices.. It's always been either wall street or airline pilot. I've wanted to be an airline pilot since i was 4 years old.. My greatgranfather was an airline pilot and my grandfather worked in teh Russian airforce. I moved to America from Russia...Growing up when money didn't matter all i wanted to do was become an airline pilot. Then logically in high school wall street big money potential got in the way of everything.. It's been stressful i'm in college right now majoring in finance.... I just dont know which career i would pursue.. Aviation pays nothing starting out and your away from home 20K a year first officer at regional airline.. then up t o 40K after 5 years.. then If and only if your lucky and get to the majors after 10 years at a regional youll make 40K as a first officer and up to 100K as a captain.. in my mid 40s.. Obviously i'd be happer if money and family didn't matter but in reality sometimes we have to wake up from our dreams.. im just sooo unsure..anybody have anything to say?
