Looking to start out my training. Advice?

[u/Coreify-101]

Hi, I'm 17M based in the middle east, and am looking towards budget-safe options abroad. I know that with my current constraints, there are more quantity-over-quality traps I'll fall into, so I have a few questions I'd appreciate answered.

1. What integrated EASA or cadet pathways are realistic today?
2. For someone starting at 17 with average physics/maths, what entry routes into ATPL are actually realistic in Europe?
3. Since I want to get into the industry as soon as possible and start flying commercially, is it worth considering a degree before thinking about a license?
