Man It would be so much easier if my parents would just hand me the money.

I have to make a sacrifice of not getting on the property ladder yet in order to do my training. It's a risk and if it all goes wrong then £50k wasted and 18 months of not earning anything and 4 years of not being on the property ladder (take into consideration the cost of houses in 4 years time).

Think I like many others fall into the 'If you want it bad enough you will work hard and make sacrifices to get there'.

You should do the same, I am sure you'll feel a lot better for it when your fully qualified - and what a story to tell them in the airline interview when they ask 'How did you fund your training? and what sacrifices did you make to get here?'
