I went to see HSBC who declined my application for a loan. I asked for about 30K, thing is I have nothing to put down for a loan so it would be 100% and banks are reluctant to lend that kind of money with no security. I only have a few hours as I was always advised not to learn too much, as sponsorship places prefer to train you there way.
Penworth-
What jobs pay a lot? I am intrigued I would change tomorrow if it meant earning enough to be able to save for flying. And as for the housing market, you caught it at a peak. I would need to buy now and wait at least 5-6 years for any substantial gain in value by which time I will be well into my 30s. I have a 2:1 in Engineering, big money seems to fly past engineers.
