Becoming an engineer. Need advice

Hi there, I basically made this thread because I want to know how I can become an aircraft engineer. I'm eighteen and I'm currently finishing my A-levels. I'm from Barbados so my qualifications maybe different but the exams I'm doing is equivalent to a-levels.

So, I've been reading online but I'm finding it very difficult as to how I go about to become an aircraft engineer. I've checked Canada but read on a different forum that doing AME in Canada is rough and you don't get paid well.

So that discouraged me a lot and now I'm looking at getting an EASA Part-66 license. The thing is, from my research I only found two places in England that do this course. City of Bristol college and Kingston. Are there any other places or ways I can become an aircraft engineer in England? I've checked apprenticeships but they only seem to accept citizens. Also, Kingston is really expensive and Bristol college never replied to my email about international students and fees.
So, any information would be appreciated as to how I can achieve my goal to become an AME.
