Man, this is a really tough spot you are in and a very hard decision to make. You are asking if we think you can make it in two years, but you should really be asking "Do I think I can make it in 2 years?" As we have seen from some amazing artists out there, it's definitely possible, but, as you know, it's a very rough road especially without a backup. I went the route where I finished school studying something unrelated, and although I regret sometimes not throwing myself fully at it from the beginning, there were pros and cons to both sides. If you can "freeze" the year like you said, that seems like a great opportunity to improve your art, especially if you don't have any debt or major responsibilities dragging you down. Best of luck!
