go to school!!!! For Art. a degree is a degree. and while your doing that, take a few lessons and see how you like it. Take your time really learning how to fly! get your private pilots license and that’s when you'll come to that fork in the road whether to pursue aviation or something else. It took me about a yr to get mine(2 days a week while working w/ night school).
not saying FlightSaftey is bad or anything, but the time you spend during you private pilot "stage" of your training is the most important part of your training and going to a school that tells you that getting you license can take a few short months are neglecting your BASE knowledge of flying and aviation as a whole.

so my advise would be to go out to some small Po-dunk airport, find some old career flight instructor, take a few rides and see whether or not he can really pass the knowledge onto you. because having a firm basic knowledge of something as simple as how a wing creates lift is very important.

My 2 cents
