I hope you have not handed over the 70k yet! I shudder to think that you have borrowed so much for no guarantees.
What the flying school's tell you and what is reality are two different things.
I have the lot except an instructor rating I tried and tried to find a job at every opportunity, I do not regret having done what I did. I saved up a lump of cash and then blew it out the exhaust pipe, I did the same for each level of licence so that I was not in debt.
I am now undertaking a Commerce Degree at Uni to get something not related to flying behind me and I am a lot more confident of earning good money at the end of the degree rather than what I would earn in flying.
I suggest if I may, that you only go to PPL and see what you think, do some research along the way. And if you do not have anything else behind you get something!

Ps If you have not handed over the 70k wack it into a high yielding online account to help offset you repayments!
