Usually you'll find these at the fresher days with a stall, they are all walking around in flight gear (well they were at my uni). I did ask them a couple of questions and was ready to do ahead with it ... but for some reason nothing ever came from it and I could never find them after that
(looking back I wish I had made more effort - I don't think it would be that hard to get in contact with the Uni social/sports club to ask for a number/info).
Good luck in your quest ... as most have said throughout this forum. Don't put all your eggs in on basket. I'll have 2.5 years of Web/Graphic Design work experience and a BSc to fall back onto. The reality is there are a lot of people on here that are quite bitter about not getting an airline job after 2 years and £70k of training. Don't let them put you off.
If I can change my career path from working in an office 9-5 to flying 8-6 as a CFI/FI for less money I'll be quite a happy fella. Anything more is a bonus - A Dash 8 would be good ... a Learjet better ... A 737/320 would just be a dream come true!
