Ok, So I wanted to be a pilot from the age of 8 years old after visiting the flight decks of Trident;s and Bac 1-11's ect whilst going on hols. I got the bug for it then. I am now flying Executive Jets around Europe and it's fantastic.
A few points if I may...
I don't know how old you are but try and get sponsorship if possible...my bill at the end of the day was £47000.01 that took a long time to pay off..
The Industry is not like it use to be in the (80's - 90's) not so glam as it was then less perks etc and many of the low cost Airlines require you to pay for your Type rating.
I would get you PPL first just to see if flying is your cup of tea.
Aside the awful amount of money one has to spend in "Getting There" I absolutely love my job and enjoy going to work.
