Someone, some time ago told me this:
Flying will empty your wallet,
Flying will empty your bed
FLYING WILL FILL YOUR LIFE!
I did not believe him then

but I do now
I have just finished modular CPL, SEP, MEP, IR whilst in full time job and searching for first flying job.
Since start of training I've got divorced, changed job, been unemployed for five month, had to move for new job from Stansted to East Midlands and so far had no answer for single application.
But you know what? I would do it again...
