You can do it with any sort of work ethic/motivation. If you really enjoy flying/aviation and feel you can transfer that to someone else then you should dive right in and go for it. I was in the same boat and thought it wasnt for me also. I even went as far as getting a spot in the ANG flying C-130s to avoid it. After having finished it, I am so glad I went through with it. As far as time building, there really is no other way that can be better short of owning your own plane.
