I agree with the last post. I took the same route and in fact I did it all from zero in a 150 days right before the prices went up another 10k. It wasn't easy but I was prepared. I was a professional flight student that switched to aviation management because I didn't want my college degree and flight training to cost me 150k. I think I took all of the aviation classes the school offered and some weather (earth and science) classes. Having taken PPL, Instrument and commercial ground classes I was able to easily pass the written and already knew most of the material. I suggest you do the same if you are seriously going to take that route. Small flight schools usually offer the classes but i'm not sure how good they are compared to college classes. The good thing is that they are really cheap. I worked at a school that had the class for less than $300 with some books included. Most will advise you to keep your current job and take flight lessons on the side at a local flight school till you're finished. It's the cheapest route and also at a very low risk since you won't have to quit your job. The fast track route is not for everyone. I started with guys that never saw the end of it. The chances of you failing check rides are also high because you're on a time line and may feel the pressure of taking an exam that you're not ready for. You are already taking the right steps to go about it. Once you decide on what to do, stick to your plan and don't let SJS get to you. Good Luck!
