Just a few words of wisdom please
21 years old. 100h PPL. Canadian. Serious decision making going on for many many months. I have a high level of French and am extremely close to enrolling on an interpretation course at Ontario Uni. Just under 2 years course, with incredible job prospects after. Airline flying is, as the cliché goes, my dream as of 3 years old. However, with a pleantiful of reading on PPRUNE (being a member for many years) and my own active research, its only sensible to have a strong backup job/career so that one has finances and work available should flying not work out, or things drag on. I know how people have been wating for ages to hear back from interviews/applications. Let alone starting dates!
I'd just like to think I am making the right decision with this French Interpretation MA Degree. I mean, for goodness sake I'm 21. I could even be 26 when I'm around 1000 hours and a Multi/CPL etc., right? I also teach Jazz Piano as my main form of income for now, so I could use that as a backup also in the future. Of course, all this will take place in Canada. My dream place of residence having had 10 visits and unable to describe in words, my connection and comfort with the place.
Looking forward to a little natter about above post.
Regards,
Dan.
