OK, I have no idea what I'm talking about...but I've always been practical and things usually work out for me.
If I were to turn the clock back 20 years I would do this. I'd go to university and get a degree in something solidly related to audio - like Electronic Engineering.
While doing that, I would get a simple PT set up and start recording bands on the cheap - and use the university/pt rig for networking and building up your chops.
Now after 4 years, you should have built up a decent clientel/network, be DAW proficient, have your ITB chops reasonably down as a recording/mix engineer, and hold a degree in EE.
I think this way, you'd be a pretty attractive choice for a studio assistant WITH PAY. You also have the "fall back" thing covered with your degree. And who knows, you might even have talent, people skills, and all the other things completely unrelated to audio that you might be able to make a decent leaving in the music biz!
