Airline pilots tend to live longer, and make more money.

It really depends on the type of lifestyle that you want. Are you at UPT right now? I was a JSUPT instructor pilot. I could answer all of your questions as far as the jobs and lifestyles of military fighter, helicopter, tanker, and transport pilots. I may become an airline pilot at a later time. I don't currently have any experience with airline flying but you will likely be able to find others that can go into more detail there. But if you are interested in military aviation, I could answer all your questions.

A fighter pilot would be nice to start out as, you get educated and you get your flying lessons from your country's wallet, but there is alays the danger of a war zone while flying a fighter or an other military plane
Commercial Airline pilots also have nice jobs. They usually make alot of money, and there is no warzone danger. however, pilots are usually away from there families for awhile

A commercial airline pilot is nothing more than a bus driver. Everything is automated, he and the flight officer are there only in the case of an emergency, in which they grab a checklist and go right down the page and follow step by step to correct the problem. If following the checklist doesn't work......God becomes the pilot.
Fighter pilot........lets see....a high performance flying gas can, loaded with munitions. You figure that one out.

Fighter Pilot - Getting shot down, hurtling to the ground in a fire ball at mach 1.
Commercial Pilot - Making an error/something going wrong on the plane. Having a chance to land it, be a hero. Or, crash into the ground and possibly take hundreds of people with you.

Having been a frequent flyer for business, many of the pilots that I spoke with started their careers flying combat and transport jets in the military. So I suppose that if you were to survive the consequences of potentially flying in a war zone or while engaged in some training exercise you would move on to commercial aviation. I think another consequence for a military pilot when he leaves his jets is the exhilaration of flying such a high performance machine. Because, having been a frequent flyer, flying commercially is nothing more than moving from on place to another in a bus with wings. Now don't get me wrong, I'd love to fly one of those buses on my worst day with all of the beauty you get to see below you and the sky above. But it must make the military pilot long for the stick of his F-4.

I have done both in different periods of my life. Fighter pilots don't really see much action these days. Airline flying may be a bit dull occasionally, but it continues at a steadier rate with (generally) fixed pay.

Airliner you have the chance of living longer. But I think a lot of pilots start in the military. So, one may lead to the other.

To become a military fighter pilot one requires discipline, skills and luck. Millions apply, hundreds qualify but only a very few actually fly top gun aircraft. If you can do - DO IT!
