Obviously I know nothing about the OP and his specific circumstances, but what about looking into the Military as an option? I was a pilot in the Army as a Warrant Officer with no degree at all flying helicopters. Eventually I moved over to airplanes. I know that the military is not for everyone, but it can't hurt to at least look at it. Another big plus is that if you are a military pilot the ATP minimums are lower. I want to say 1,000 instead of the 1,500 standard, but I could be off on that.

Even if you do not fly in the Military you would be able to get education benefits that you could use towards flight training and experience (ie.. getting that CFI like everyone is saying). Just going Reserves or Guard you would get some pay every month on top of the education benefits.

Just something to think aboutl
