Default What should I do?

Hi there, I'm new to this online forum and am not sure if I'm posting this question in the right place, but here it goes. I want to fly- that's the bottom line- but I'm not sure what approach makes the most sense from where I stand now. I'm 21 years old, fresh out of college, I have my instrument and about 260 hours (mostly cross country flying family). I've heard such great things about ATP from friends and instructors who have gone, however, I'm unsure of what course of action I should take- should I try to get my commercial and CFI from my local airport (KDXR) or should I just opt for the the all inclusive (and all expensive) ATP 3 month program. I want to fly professionally, and I know that all the multi time is very valuable, plus the jet experience (isn't ATP getting those D-jets in 2009). Right now I'm just paying off student loans with a summer job, but everytime a plane flys over all I want to do is being flying it... I'm not sure what route I should take- what would you do? Thanks for your time. Sincerely Alexander R
