I also had had reservations about job opportunities available after spending a lot of time and money undertaking training.

However, I’ve began modular training (currently working towards my PPL) and will also apply for any cadet schemes that open this year. The biggest advantage I see in these is that it’s payed for and you have a conditional job offer rather than undertaking the training through an integrated provided.

No one can predict the future but without starting there’s a 100% chance of not securing a job! But that may be easier for me to say as I’m coming from a second career and have a secure(ish) job. I say ish as my current employer made a load of redundancies this year…point is..no job is secure!
