If one fails Class 1 Medical, what other options?

Dear Reader,

I am 17 and I am looking at doing my Class 1 Medical (already hold a Class 2) in the next year to confirm whether or not I can become a commercial pilot.

I am a worrier and I was wondering if someone was to fail their Class 1 Medical, what other options would they have?

For me, I'd love to have any career that involves being around aircraft (apart from engineering - my dad has told me enough bad stories from his career!)

Are there any roles in aviation that:
-Are paid reasonably well (I'll settle for 20k+)
-Don't require a university degree of some form

Obviously working for an airline has great benefits (ie staff travel) and that would be very appealing, though it isn't a requirement.

I am currently studying A levels in:
- Biology
- Geography
- Computing
- ICT (AS)

And I am roughly 3/4 through my PPL.

Any other advice is greatly appreciated!
