For someone starting out then CTC and sponsorship has got to be the best way forward. Just out of intrested how old are you? As it seems that has a bearing on what kind of options you have. Im currently still in Year 12 so im still a year from deciding my future, wether that be uni or flight school. Some advice I have seen reiterated on forum time and time again. THERE ARE NO GURANTEES WITH ANYTHING. As long as you bear that in mind and keep everything in perspective. Good luck with what you decide!
