Go to university and read the ATPL on the side as distance learning. It is possible if you are dedicated.
If you only go the ATPL route you may end up like my friends who are out a job and without an education other than a type rating that won't get you a desk job.
If I could do it again I'd learn a trade (carpenter, etc.) and then do my flight training. A trade is something that is always in demand and flexible hours. Something you can do yourself when you're not flying.
Just my 2 cents.
