Balancing a job to pay for “pay as you go” flight school

Can anyone please explain if it is difficult to balance a job that pays for “pay as you go” flight school while taking the classes. I know it’s hard but I want to know if that’s an option right out of high school. Anyone have any experiences, suggestions, anything really I’m just trying to weight out the pros and cons. Since I’m not sure if it’s going to be to difficult flying then going straight to work?

What’s the fastest and most affordable path to becoming an airline pilot?

I have recently realized that I need to start thinking more seriously about my future. I’ve always said that if I can’t go into the film industry, I would want to become a commercial airline pilot.

I mainly want to pursue this career because I genuinely love flying (as a passenger) traveling around the world, and seeing how huge the Earth really is. I understand that being an airline pilot isn’t the same as sightseeing, but traveling and flying are definitely things I’m passionate about.
As for the film industry, it has become more of a dream and a risk than a realistic career path, and I’m okay with that. I’ve realized that I need to pursue a stable career, so I’ve decide to seriously consider becoming a commercial airline pilot.

I want to know what the fastest possible path is to becoming a commercial airline pilot, especially if I want to enter the industry while I’m still as young as possible.

I’ve heard that one of the best ways to build the required flight hours after completing flight school is to become a flight instructor. That way, I could earn money while gaining the flight hours I need to eventually qualify for an airline job.
The biggest challenge for me is that I don’t come from a wealthy family and will receive minimal financial help with flight school. I don’t mind taking a year or two after high school to work a decentpaying job, save as much money as possible, and then use those savings to fund my flight training.

With that in mind, what would be the fastest and most financially realistic path for me to become a commercial airline pilot?
I want to start as young as possible while also making sure I’m not putting myself into an unreasonable amount of debt.
Also please note I have ZERO flight experience just decided now I want to pursue this career also im not saying I need to be the youngest pilot and im not saying i need to spend $0 i just need a good middle ground
