Have you considered flying in college, getting your degree and then joining the Air National Guard or the Air Force Reserves? I remember at pilot training having a couple of guard folks in our class and many of us were shocked to find out that they already knew what they would be flying and where they would live. Myself, and many others, were wondering how the hell that happened? Nobody had told us about that route and how great it could be. It may or may not be your thing.
International flying, IMO, has been a great experience.
Best of luck in whatever you decide.
