It's all about how much effort you put into it.
I graduated with a four year degree from a respectable University at the age of 20. It took me two years, a fall term and a couple of summer classes, and I was able to fly on the side as well.
Obviously it's a lot of work... but hey 2 years for a 4 year aint bad!
I could probably have attended a ATP tryp school for my CFI's and maybe some multi time building and had an interview before age 21.
It's all a question of motivation and making the most out of what options you have. If your High School offers AP's... Take them! they speed up the degree process! If your college offers summer courses... Take them! If your flight school is willing to accomodate your strange hours of availability... Work with them!
It's not gonna be easy, but you can fly through this stuff in no time if you just stay focused and take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way...
ok... my rant is over
