Don't need much to start a flight school, start as part 65 until you build your business up.

I don’t like the idea of doing nothing while trying to save a wad of $$$. Also, everyone’s particulars vary. I like action.
Sounds like you already have a degree in something, & just contemplating starting training? At least get the ball rolling with a private pilot ground school & maybe an ‘intro’ flight, low cost.
Age can be a factor with a career change, closer to 30 or 50? Any help from family? Be aware of peripherals, driving & possibly police record & any medical issues? Trouble in those areas could be a hindrance to piloting for pay.
Start hanging with like minded individuals, cultivate local aviation contacts.

Have you checked out Classic Air Aviation in Mesa? They appear to do 141 for at least your private and have access to financial aid. BTW we were just out in Scottsdale a couple months back and went "climbing" the Thunderbird Conservation Park, great looking area. I took an awesome pic from the top which is my current desktop.
