I'm not sure why people liken a helicopter pilot career as some kind of big gamble, like you're going to Hollywood to try to become a movie star. In the U.S. at least, you get your ratings, you teach, you get a job flying tours or something to get some turbine hours and then find a segment you want to focus on and go from there. You WILL get a real job at some point. Everybody does. It's not that big of a deal, certainly not a gamble. You will most likely have to move at some point, but I think that's understood. Is Europe that much different?
