Go to OTS, get commissioned—go to UPT and get paid while learning to fly jets. Graduate with your wings with roughly 200hrs or so. You can now fly instruments in a single-seat supersonic jet. Go to RTU, get checked out in your jet, mission ready, and maybe fly a jet with a red-guarded switch marked “Nuclear.” Fly your commitment, or stay for a career, get out and go to the majors making decent bucks.
You did not pay for your ATP, the USG paid for it and your experience is so far ahead of Joe Smuck that flew C-172’s at the local patch you WILL get hired over Joe Smuck. . .except Ms Josephine Smuck will get hired ahead of you. . .you know, protected classes get preferences.
Only thing is, you might have to go to war but at least you will be flying jets while doing so and having fun while doing it.
You left-out that the military chooses its student fliers from the top 20% of the population (although in the 1960s it was from the top 3% of the population). Standards have dropped thanks to Affirmative Action, but not yet down to the level of average civilian flight training.
