I started flying for a hobby in 1975, professionally in 1981 up until a year ago when I medical'd out (by choice). Could have kept flying but at a significant cost to my long term health.
I'll let others talk about the best schools since it's been so long for me. I did a quick Google search on schools where you can get an ATP with less than 1500 hours and it **appears** (I could be wrong) you need to have an aviation related Associate or Bachelors degree to do that.

Here's a good article in Flying Magazine written in 2015 so it's still pretty current:
