I've passed CTC selection. You've got a few choices:

1. Pay for the course outright, I know a few guys who've been in positions to do this (inherited a lot of money etc.) this is risky though, especially without a confirmed contract at the end.
2. Go get a job with an Airline, work your way up and use your knowledge/experience and network to get a sponsorship/internal entry
3. Go modular and work while you learn

If you are passionate about aviation then working for airline will be no problem and an easy first step. A lot of the pilots I know worked in the industry first mainly in Ops. As someone who's made it this way, and a lot of the guys I know who aren't rich have made it the same way, this is my advice.
