You sound like a driven and intelligent guy so all i'll say to you is dont give up.
Become a doctor and work like a bastard to get your money together and do it bit by bit.
Being close to EMA means on a clear day like today you see lots of aircraft, and of course your mind wonders "what if?"
You've already answered any questions/doubts you might have and you know that in 30 years time looking out from your million pound mansion catching a reflection of a jet in your Jags gleaming paint work will really piss you off.
Im sure it wont be easy and many obstacles in the way but i can guarantee that it will all be worth it.
Good luck
