Welcome to the forum Elena!!
You won't regret selling your second last t-shirt in order to become a helicopter pilot, it will mean you will not have to work for a living ever again. It's just magically and faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaantastic soaring above ground.
The only thing I can add is once you have your R22/R44 rating to go and take the factory course in Torrance now that is the best value for money you will get in a long time. THose 3.5 days and 1.5hours which cost you something like $400 is just educational. They also have a specail rate deal with the hotel across from them whose name escapes me (anyone remember?).
I wish you the very best of luck!!
