I vote military. The military will help you pay for pretty much all of your training, and on top of that you get a hefty chunk of money for your college education. Don't forget that military experience looks really good in interviews for airlnes. I did it the slow pay as you go way and it took me 3 years to get my commercial rating and an extra 6 months to get my instructor rating. Check and see what Latvia does, it might be similar to what the U.S. military does. A country can never have too many people in its military so there will probably be incentive for you in some form.
