I would caution against going into aviation, it’s not a real career, atleast in Europe.

The training is expensive, any time there is a downturn aviation gets destroyed, you risk losing your medical and the job has very few transferable skills. Even in the same industry your skills are mostly non transferable, if you were flying the 777 good luck applying for a job on the 320 or 737. There are far too many risks for too few rewards.
