There is no reason that, as previously suggested, you can't start your PPL now, part time between school and your job, and have it finished prior to finishing school. I would suggest that it is ESSENTIAL to FINISH SCHOOL. Enjoy the fun bit of flying on your weekends/days off. Ideally get a part time job at the airport- which will feed the bug. If you can't work at the airport no problem, make the most of the opportunity to gain life experience, which is possible in ANY job. You will ultimately be a better person for it, and also appreciate more what you do have when you become a career aviator, which you will if the drive is there. I know that it can be hard to see the relevance of some subject matter (been there - done that), but ultimately you will look back on school fondly as a simple existence when dodging around bad weather in the middle of the night in a cargo plane full of rubber dog@#%t out of Hong Kong. Believe it or not age is on your side, so enjoy.
