Other options:
- save your money and don't "invest" it in flying (think how long you can live on the $40 or 50k and what you could do elsewhere)
- Military and get training paid for, a decent wage and a career
- ATC (pays more unless you're flying for the big boys, but do the maths anyway and it might surprise you over a career)
- get a job in airline ops
- work for CASA if you can stand it
- a career in IT and get paid
- fly part time or for recreation and actually enjoy it
- any combination above
............................................................ .........................................
- or you could just p**ss it up against the wall, or spend it on waterskiing, or at the casino, or motor racing, or fishing.....
- in NZ????????????
- have you ever done ATC in a busy place? watching everyone else enjoying themselves while you're stressed beyond belief?
- in an office 12 hours a day?
- only if you get to fly your own aeroplane to go places in
- mmmm a computer geek. now there's an attractive option
- the only sensible option i reckon
- i'm LAME and flying - not the best combo but it pays the bills (i KNOW what's under the skin.......)
