NATS is recruiting... join them after A-levels on fully paid training and then earn a decent wage.
Spend 4 years working and also completing the PPL, hours, modular CPL IR and distance ATPL. Live like a pauper naturally. Bide time and use extensive contacts to find a first flying job at the grand old age of 24/25.
Useful background too have, keeps you in contact with aviation rather than stacking shelves, the money is OK, your current passion for aviation should help at the interview.
