Question The classic Modular Vs Integrated

Hello all... I'm 18, and started studying for my AS exams in september 2013. However, I've finally admitted defeat, they are officially too difficult for me (maths, chem and physics), so I've decided to drop out and get a full time job.

So, my question is: With earning a living now, would it be better to do my PPL through to FI, use FI to build hours, then get my ATPL and go get a job as a commercial pilot (after 6 or 7 years of instructing), or save up for 15 years or so to do the integrated route?

I think I'd really enjoy instructing, and I know the money isn't great, but to get to that stage is certainly a lot easier on my pocket than going for the integrated, and I'd be able to get plenty of experience before going into the airline world...

Thank you.
