I agree that the military is the best option, as long as you don't agree with 'no sponsor' above..... you do not require any of those things to become a military pilot, but you do require the positive attitude which is lacking from the above post.
I spent 9 years in the RAF (not as a pilot) and during my time I only met one guy who made it through to pilot training. He was an ex-comprehensive school bod who joined up as a mere 'erk' and had a thick geordie accent......
I also did my ppl with a guy who, knowing I was ex-RAF, asked me what his chances were, as he wasn't confident of making it.
He was an aeronautical engineering graduate from cambridge university AND had rowed for them for the last 2 years (boat race etc). I don't know whether he made it, but my point is that those things will help an application but they won't get you selected.
The time is long past when you require the right accent/school/parents to become a military pilot.
