If you want to fly, you'll fly. If you want to eat, don't learn how to fly for $170K.
I got a bachelors in photography and enjoyed every minute of my college life / experience. In the end, your pilot ratings look the same on paper regardless of how you got them. More often than not, it's not the hours you have that lands you the next job, it's what you know, who you know, how well can you do the job, and are you personable enough for the company to want to pay up to advance your career. No school, no matter how expensive or cheap, fast or slow can give you what you can't already give yourself.
For $170K you might as well get two degrees, throw down on a down payment for a house, buy a car, go on vacation, AND earn your ratings; otherwise whoever gets your money is going to do just exactly that with it.
Listen to milleR, DE727UPS and everyone else, and If I need to I will fly myself over to your house and shake you like a rag doll until you make a sound decision regarding your future. You only live once young Skywalker!
