As another alternative, you could consider becoming an Army Helicopter Pilot via their WOFT Program. Of course, since flying helicopters is first and foremost WAY more fun than most F/W flying - though sans most of the "glamour" that goes with SJS flying - it might not be for you.

But I will second those that have said it is a good idea to finish your degree first, whatever you ultimately decide to do. One the most important things for anyone considering a pilot career is to have another skill or career to "fall back on" .... be it, butcher, baker, or candlestick-maker..... or Computer Engineer. Good Luck!

(You can always continue your flight training at a slower pace, take flying lessons as you have money available while going to school and working at your part-time job - you do have a part-time job while going to school, right?)
