Thanks everyone for your help!
It seems I have much more thinking to do, I got the impression from this video (http://www.forces.ca/en/job/pilot-32 @2:50 it is mentioned) that you did not have to be a university grad to become a pilot. You can see why it was a bit misleading, but thank you to those who cleared everything up.
Also:
:rofl:
EDIT:
Sounds exactly like me! I know I'll miss out on opportunities, but despite what many think, university is not the only option after high school. Keep in mind I haven't dropped out yet, but I probably will if I figure something out, or land an apprenticeship in a trade I like.

5. Get turned down multiple times, for reasons that will not be explained to you.
6. Finally get accepted after 9 years of service as an NCM.
7. Be sent to a university to finish the degree you should have completed the first time.
8. Pilot training.
