Love your response jet pilot.
Mikem if you are hungry, you can learn what you need to learn to go forward. That takes self discipline and perserverance.
A Gentleman I know, started flying training with an EXTREMLEY limited ability to read or write. He got the hunger, he pretty much self schooled himself to get through the theory part. He also worked hard in the things he did know to pay for the flying part. He now holds down a very respectable Multi Engine IFR Turbine job in the GA sector.
This could be you IF that is what you really want.
You can achieve any job you want. It is not your education level that will hold you back, it will always be your unwillingness to do the hard work and learn the things you need to.
Driving aeroplanes still holds the public to a glamour level. It isn't easy, but ANYONE can do it, if they wish to.
Good luck
