Poor and confused....

Hey All.
I know there are plenty of posts from wannabes but just wanted opinions from you all.

Have just started a job as cabin crew, hate the job and all the damn 'office politics' but, as i thought, absolutely adore the fact that I'm working within aviation. Have always been an enthusiast, and am now seriously considering doing/starting some pilot training.

What is the best way to go? I'm not particulary well off, the only asset is my car, which I could flog to pay for my PPL but then I would be stuck. Am in the process of applying for the CTC aviation programme but I know that'll be outrageously hard to get into, although I'll give it my best.

Is it worth getting into all that debt. especially when all my costs incurred will be loans? Is it better to do something intensive over in the states and try and save a few pounds?
The company i work for have a few former cabin crew who are now F/O's and recently heard you can join with as little as 250 hours.

Some friendly, honest advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
