Daughter wants to become a pilot

My daughter wants to become a pilot. She is applying at the Qantas FTA program, and REX. She has decided against a uni degree flight school. Her back up plan is a science degree if she doesn’t get in. I am wondering if I should encourage a local flying schools. All posts are a bit doom and gloom it seems like a really hard career path. She is not interested in armed forces as another path which maybe I could encourage her towards. It’s hard to give guidance. Seems a fraught path
