Any advice would be appreciated
You'll catch the tail-end of the wave at the regionals, maybe enough to get hired at a major expeditiously. But most of it will be over once you're at a major, just too young (but you'll doubtless enjoy the next one, whenever that is).
You could work on your ratings on the side at a 61 school, should be able to get to CFI in four years part-time.
The biz degree might be a useful backup at some point, I'd try to do that if you can.
