Excuse my ignorance, I am very new to all this...

So, after completing CPL/MEIR/MCC with approx 200hrs, what did you guys do next and for how long did you do it for until you got into the golden seat of a jet. What were you earning during this time?

My dilemma is that at the moment I am in my 30's employed in an aviation related job earning £40K / year in London, my wife and I have a comfortable life and are pretty much set up (no kids yet). It is my dream to do what you guys do for a living, as such I am considering re-mortgaging the house to fund the training, but what scares the sxxt out of me is that what if I get no job at the end and no money coming in, how will i support my family. I know it is my decision as to what I do, however, before I get myself into this I want to make sure that I have my eyes wide open and know what to expect.

Any advise will be most appreciated.
