Aviatordom
In the early '70s I only had CSEs but managed to get an apprenticeship with an airline.
Todays apprenticeships are quite different from my time. For some reason they want people to have higher academic qualifications.
Your passion for aircraft help, but apprenticeships are few and far between.
Enquire at a college that does aviation. Check on the internet.
Don't give up your dream. The job can be very awarding despite all the frustrations you might read of.
I am now a Licenced Engineer travelling the world on behalf of my company, and I enjoy it 99% of the time (the 1% against is when it is bitterly cold in driving wind and rain up to my elbows in Skydrol!)
