Yep as I sit in the local with my mates there is not one of them that evenly remotley likes their job, some of them had to slog it out for four years in college with no cash other then what they got in a pub job and that went on accomodation after 4 yrs college with degrees in electronics/marketing etc what do they end up doing but working full time in the pub they were in or some local shop. I didnt spend 4 yrs in college because I was lucky enough to secure a very well paid job in telecoms during my course. Now I have great pay and aspirations to fly so now I begin on the road towards my license.
Every single one of my mates have struggled for years in college and working crap jobs to eventually secure a position in their choosen profession only to wish they chose otherwise,
Same **** different career. Aviation is the same as any other career and people heading into telecoms for example never listen to peers about ups and downs of it, they are interested and they must find out for themselves and thats the way it is.
There is not one of my immediate working colleagues that would'nt leave for something else with a tad of excitement, after 3 yrs in telecoms I rather work in a pub for a quarter the pay.
For every 1 of us wannabes out there with RHS aspirations there is a 1000 miserable baxterds moping about in a boring career,
Go for it regardless and never look back.
