Having worked in the world of finance for the past 5 years I am gobsmacked at the amounts of money wannabees are willing to borrow to chase their dream (£50-100,000.... geeez! )

WWW hit it right on the head... the repayments alone IF (and thats a big IF) you get a job will mean living at or on the bread line for years..... oh yeah but that doesn't matter because you are "flying"!

Geeez take the blinkers off and listen to some of the guys who post on Pprune who have been there/done that and are kind enough to spend their time and effort warning you of some of the potential pit falls.

Borrowing that amount of money = bonkers in my book..... go out get a job save a bucket load of money and use that to fund at least part of your training.... yeah you'll have to make sacrifices but you don't get anything in life unless you work at it... patience is a virtue as they say, and if you want it bad enough it will happen without your local branch of HSBC owning your ass for years to come
