I want to be a pilot for an airline more than anything. Its my dream.
Math and science are my two best subjects.
But as an alternative to a college route, should I be a flight attendant and then take my flying lessons when i am free (because they have flexible schedules and adequate pay) or should I stick with college?
4.0 GPA in all honors classes
(I’m a Sophomore)

No, you should go to college, preferably a 4- year school. Get a degree in anything you want (airlines just want you to have a degree, don’t matter what it is in). Get your school in while taking flying lessons.Then when you have your degree, your commercial pilot license with ME, instrument, CFI (with time spent as CFI) and about 700-1000 hrs you will be ready to land a job. Starting out in aviation is low pay, just FYI! I mean $20K/yr flying regional jets, etc.
