vagabond: "You have the stereotypical Chinese parents."

Some people who live in (or were raised in) Taiwan may not appreciate being called Chinese.

The experienced pilot law (age 65 ruling) has pushed back some airline hiring for several years.

Perhaps in those years you may want to pursue the accounting or my favorite - the engineering bachelor's degree.

(This has been suggested in your thread) If you can work a part time job at a Fixed Base Operator (FBO) in between school semesters you may be able to build flight time on your own earnings.

Finish the degree. Get the engineering/accounting job closest to your hometown. If your parents would allow you to remain in the household for a year or two after graduation you may be able save and spend time and money earning your aircraft certificates and ratings.

One of the happiest times of my life was when I was in my early 20's, working full time as an avionics design engineer and flight instructing nights and weekends.

Possibly you could be in your mid to later 20's with a degree and a choice to leave the engineering/accounting profession and join us lucky aviators.

Good luck with whatever you choose.
