If you want it, do it. Just go in with your eyes open and be thankful that you have a backup career. My first question to young people looking at a flying career is “do you like to eat rice? Because that is all you will be able to afford”. If you go into an aviation career, it’s because you like flying, any other reason will leave you disappointed.
Your missing the spam cans & baked beans!!!

I’m a firm believer of no regrets, have a crack.

I’ve fooked up plenty of times with silly decisions but flying certainly wasn’t one of them.
