Any advice would be appreciated
Fact is, you need your 4-year degree, so keep going there. Next, while structured programs are best, I’d start slowly while in college. Find a local Part 61 school, get a first class medical and get your private there. If things go well, then start towards the rest. I worked while in a local college at a small airport, discounted rates on flying and an income in college.
