It’s actually a no brainer: Make a business plan


Initial investment (training and cost of living during training) (A)

Expected initial salary - > career -> top salary -> expected career duration. This leading to professional life income (B)

Expected lifestyle and its cost (C)



Expected pension funds (company/self) (D)

Expected retired lifestyle and its cost for 20 years (E)



B - A = C

E - D = F





If C and F remain in positive figures, give it a try.

But don’t forget: In aviation there is a sacred rule, namely “always have an alternate”. This applies right from the beginning of your career!
