By all means, it's a worthy road to travel if you enjoy doing the work, no matter what it takes to get there.
Just make sure it's something you really want to do. A lot of times, you don't really figure that out for a while because you never know what it really involves, but if you're keen on solving problems and finding solutions, it's a good field to be in. Just beware... if you do your job too well and are too proactive, you can end up bored as f*ck and just surfing the internet all day while enjoying the smell of your own farts.
