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.
All the best, but if you have to re-mortgage your house and give up on your current job, you are taking a BIG RISK. Is jeopardising all or most of what you've got and achieved, on a "possible" job, worth it? Let's be realistic.
