Any 'Under-Educated' Pilots out there??

Hi,

Weird question I know, but am wondering if there are any professional pilots out there (with decent jobs) with very little academic achievement.
I am 27 and racing through my PPL at the moment, but am finding it hard to pluck up the courage to commit (financially) to the commercial side of things.

I had a rough time at school and came away with very little. Then went on to become a carpenter, but my passion for aviation took over. I have worked within airline operations (awful hours) for five years trying to gain confidence.

I am an intelligent guy, and know I can get through the course, but fear my lack of academia will deny me a shot at an interview.

HELP.....
