If you don't try you don't get!
There must be countless people out there who thought about a career in aviation but never put it all on the line to persue a dream. Don't wake up as a 50 y/o office worker wondering what if, even if it doesn't work out fantastically like everyone expects, at least you'll know what would have happened.
It is a gamble - just if you do go for it set your sights high, have to be good to get a job at the mo. And another thing, what you put in you will eventually get out (spend wisely and pay full money for it). There are still quite a few 250hr guys getting airline jobs despite what impressions you may get from some of the forums.
