Better still go to University and do a course that will get you a well paid job or learn a trade, become an aircraft mechanic.
Plenty of well paid jobs all over the world for a LAME but it takes a lot more than 200 hours to get the ticket.
Simultaneously have flying lessons, with a CPL and AME jobs will be plenty.
I have seen the majority of young PPLs with Instructor ratings end up working stacking shelves and having no money or prospects into their late 20s and even 40s.
Sadly there just are not the jobs around, save up and fly for pleasure.
‘’Would simplifying the rules and removing barriers to entry help GA? Examples might include:
-Allowing instructors to practice as in the USA - no AOC or school required.
- Removing AOC and CPL rules regarding carrying goods for sale/tools of trade for tradesmen/engineers/specialists.
- rewording CAR206(/?) allowing milk runs, ad how charter without an AOC.
- Removing cost recoveries and CASA charges.
Ideally adopting FAA rules again with the purpose of encouraging flying activity.
