Burroughs: Assuming you are financially comfortable and have a supportive family - Go for it. No one can predict where the industry will be in 2 years time or what your career or job prospects might be. With regard to training, do exactly as Clare Prop suggests, avoid the pay up front sausage factories.

What I can tell you is that unless you’re one of the very lucky few, it will be a dispiriting path with appallingly poor pay and work conditions. Check out the GA awards and you will come to the conclusion that’ stacking supermarket shelves is a more lucrative occupation than the majority of GA jobs. If you can’t live with that harsh reality, go learn to fly anyway, buy your own aircraft and just enjoy “ slipping the surly bonds of Earth. And dancing the skies on laughter”
