Your first order of business is to pay off your credit card debt ASAP. Don't go into more debt and definitely don't avoid working a job that can help you pay it off just because you think you're too good for it. You can't afford that right now. Sounds like you have a great financial situation in that you don't even have to pay rent so you can take almost all of your money and send it straight toward paying off your debt. Once your debt is gone then pursue what you want to do next

You would forgo the 55$ an hour job (25 min) in 2 months to get a 15$ an hour job in who knows how long? just to pay off cc debt? That could take me 6-9 months and I'd still have to figure out where I will get my financial freedom from because it certainly wasn't working for a major corp at 15$ an hour.

Well if you're confident you can actually start making 55 bucks an hour for at least 24 hours a week and pay off your new 25 grand debt quickly then definitely do that. The fact that you're in so much CC debt in the first place when you don't have to pay rent makes me think you're financially irresponsible though, but I don't know your whole situation and past I guess. It also sounds a little too good to be true to start making 55 bucks an hour in a month and a half like that

I really like Plan A. It's not risk free, but seems like a calculated risk that will likely pay off if you keep your shit together and bust your ass.

real estate shit you can do whenever. the plane shit, maybe not.

$55 an hour as an independent only happens if you can line up paying customers. And your marketing and insurance costs have to come out of that. $25 an hour working for a flight school is probably more likely. So, it costs $10,000 in additional debt to get a job that pays $10 an hour more than the kind of shit job you can find immediately. Hmm ... I'm not wild about that ROI.
What about truck driving school? A lot of companies will pay for your training if you agree to work for them for a certain period. And at least around here, with a CDL, you can pretty much write your own ticket! Work for a year, clear your debts, build a nest egg, then pursue your real estate or flight instructor options.
