Go get your ratings ASAP, start building your hours and experience. At least get to part 135 PIC minimums as quickly as possible.
Once you are 21 get your ATP, get to a regional.
Take online courses to get a bachelor's degree while in the process.
Having finished my BS online working as a line pilot and a manager, it’s tough but doable.
