On the plus side:
-No wife/kids to support
-Have the 4-year degree requirement
-Could pay for my entire flight training out of pocket without incurring any debt
These three bullets say it all...
You're actually the perfect candidate to do this. I'd say knock out your private certificate locally while keeping you day job. Then, take a leave of absence (if you can) and do a wham bam thank you ma'am course and start building hours as quickly as possible.
If you were three years younger, I'd say go Air Firce Reserve or Gaurd.
Good luck
