You could always keep the flying for fun. I'm still undecided what to do. Go for the investment banking/real estate world and get my ppl during a summer or get into huge amounts of debt and join the world of aviation. I'm 27 at the moment and I'm thinking at this point of my life I should buy a house and experience what the corporate world is like and earn some real money. I feel age is not really a problem, more the financial power or lack of it. I feel money gets you very far in the aviation world, rather than raw ability. With money you can get yourself a rating and hours on type or an expensive course as the Oxford one. I'm not ready for the decision yet....
