Those college degrees are mostly for designing planes. To become a commercial pilot you need to have a lot of hours flying a plane. There’s clubs to rent them by the hour but to get the thousands of hours you need that will cost more than it’s worth. The simplest way to become a pilot is to join the Air Force. Probably not what you wanted to hear but that’s how most get funded to learn and get the training and hours. If you are against responsibility that then question a pilot how they got there.

Excellent luck
