REACHING MY DREAM...
I am a diligent 18 year old young man from Arizona who's dream is to become a commercial pilot. I was an exceptional high school student and have maintained a 4.0 in full-time junior college while working part-time. Last year I was accepted to a fine flight school in my area, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Unfortunately, I have not been able to allocate funds for the $32,000 per year tuition of going to this school and achieving my dream. I am incessantly searching for scholarships and advice that will aid me in reaching my goal. Any advice on how you got to where you are, alternative schooling, and/or financial aid would be much appreciated. Please help one of your aspiring colleagues! Thank you.

DanyFly,
Well there are a lot of wanabees in your situation and there is NO best way for flying as a commercial pilot, all solutions will get you to achieve your dream provided you keep it up !!. If you like flying enough you can join the military, it does not cost a penny and is good fun (from what I've been told).
I don't know the situation in the States but here in Europe some airlines recruit cadets and get them trained from ZERO to ATPL level, this is obviously tough competition.
If you've tried the above and don't get anywhere you can try the self improver route, the one I'm on
> the big advantage of it is that you can do it step by step : ie: PPL, hour building, CPL ........ and work at the same time, which is very helpful. there are a lot of hurdles with this solution but you'll find out that many Airline pilots have done it this way >> It's the "CAN DO" attitude that matters after all. Best of luck, SF
