Hey everyone, I guess I'll add my age question and situation aswell
So, I just turned 34 a couple months ago. I have been a fan of aviation for a long time, I have tried to apply to be a pilot for Lufthansa, but their cadet program accepts only a low % of applicants, and sadly I wasn't one of them. I went for a degree in computer science, and have been a developer for about 6 years by now. But the IT world and office work / corporate is just slowly draining the life out of me.
Now I managed to save up some money in that time, so I could go for the integrated ATPL course with someone like Bartolini in Lódź (I'm a german/polish dual citizen) and dedicate all my time to it, without having to rely on a job during that time.
Obviously its still a huge chunk of money so if there is no chance to get a job after it, I wouldn't do it. I know nobody here has a crystal ball and can't say what the future is going to look like in 2 years. But maybe someone can still give me their opinion about my age and the potential prospects of landing a job in Germany or Poland (or anywhere else, I'm mobile). if I started my journey ASAP, I would probably be done a little after my 36th birthday. I have no wife or kids so as I said before, I would be willing to relocate anywhere.
