I am an airline pilot. My aircraft i fly right now is an ATR72-212. I took the college route. In college i received my private commerical multi and instrument ratings. I got my flight instructor on my own time. To build flight time i instructed both at the school and the local FBO. I was hired for my job even before i graduated. I went to aircraft training just two weeks after graduating from college.

I am an airline pilot and fly the CRJ200. I was enlisted in the military as a helicopter mechanic and then I went to college with the help of the GI Bill. I learned to fly while in college and then instructed at an academy in Florida for a year. I was then hired at my current job in an EMB-120 Brasilia.

The path is the same for everyone....You get your private license first, then usually instrument or commercial next. The most important thing to have when getting hired is experience (hours). Without that you don't have much to put on your resume.
