Default Yet another what school is best for me thread

Hello everyone frank here,
new to the forum but have been browsing around a little here and there.
A little about me that might help with the rest.
26 years old
Full time job 8-5 pm
live in Florida.

so I've always had a love for airplanes and flying. started very young and i once had an opportunity to join George T Baker in Miami while in high school but didn't work out as my fathers job was in pompano beach and we had to move ( didn't have my own car at the time ).

Few years later i flew with my uncle who has his private in a Cessna 172 , ( he let me mess with it around while in the air ) . sparked up the fire again .

Now i never went to any college , just something that wasn't in my interest To spend time and money on something i wasn't 100 % into .

So after much thought i have looked into several school
ATP
American flyers
Flight Center us
Florida Aviation Academy
Air planes 4 rent

I would personally like to go from Private to commercial
all these schools range from 35-75k
i could spare 300-500$ monthly for a loan payment but all ive seen go upwards to 1000$ monthly payments,

would it be better to do my private and just rack up hours until i can afford a bigger loan ?
is there better loan out there ? like wells fargo pay 6 months after you graduate ? or the sallie mae?

any input , or personal recommendations would be greatly appreciated, No negative comments not what im here for.
thank you all !
