Should I bite the bullet???
All,
I have done the rounds of sponsorship applications (those that are left) and although I have had some positive feedback, I am yet to make it all the way through to a job at the end.
I decided to check out a flying school that I know I like and would happily spend 14 months at. Whilst visiting, I took their aptitude tests and passed with very encouraging results. On the basis of my results, that I am fit and healthy and a bank want to fund me through it - they are keen on taking me on.
So here is the question, do I give up my currently well paid job (non aviation) and bite the bullet by forking out £70k? Or should I sit on it for a while, and try again with the sponsorship opportunities as they come up?
I am currently 22, have an Aero Eng degree and currently working for a car hire company as a telecom's manager so I am in the situation where I could sit on it for a few years. But now is the time to get my posterior on the flight deck judging by the upturn in the industry.
I leave it to wisdom of PPRuNer's......
