Perhaps some helpful advice for the guy would be nice.
I would suggest finishing the degree you've started. Use that degree to get a good job and then save up/pay for flying lessons. From there you have a safe platform to reach for the sky. Despite what you think, you're still young enough to get there if you make the right decisions now.
I also think parents want what's best but don't always know what
best is. There's no point in going through your life unhappy and with regrets. So definately follow up on your dreams, but don't get foolishly into mega debt to try to realise them, as you might end up in a position that destroys both your dreams and the other parts of your life. Flying is expensive - so be careful.
