The kind of aircraft that you need to build time in are too expensive for a private individual to buy or rent just to build hours..... Sucks, but that is the way it is.
Every once in awhile you will hear of someone who was able to fast track it a bit, but that is rare.

Very True!
I built time fright instructing and flying Part 135 20+ Years ago in collage.
Flying drugs maybe more relaxing, it certainly pays better. That is a up hill climb for a young guy. It would take years to recover your instruction investment. Get your private pilot license first to see if it some thing you want to pursue. 172's are $115.00 Wet per hour.
