How badly do you want to fly? Most of us can't imagine doing anything else.

Few of us would ever recommend aviation to our children unless they were desperate to fly. Try and imagine being an middle-of-the road artist or actor - you wouldn't recommend it to anyone in a million years, yet you yourself wouldn't want to be doing anything else.

You write:
-----------------------------------------
Considering i will have to pay back this loan over quite a few years. It doesnt seem like a well payed job at all!

Also the working condidtions seem to be very harsh i.e very hard to plan a holdiays or time off, are from what i hear you are basically treated like !!!!!.
-----------------------------------------

But don't most pilots seem happy enough with life? Don't most achieve financial comfort eventually? And where else might they be if they weren't flying, in an insurance office maybe?

Either you are not suited, or you are having a totally understandable wobble!
