Yes, but..... for many the payoff is big too. The key is to have quality guidance. Too many folks will spend the yuge $$$ but have no chance of a quality job. There are flight schools that’ll take all your money. Happily. Knowing you aren’t employable.
The reputable ones will pull you aside early and let you know to pursue other paths in life.
And professional aviation (read MAJOR airlines) is much more about timing and luck than skill.
