To fly or not to fly...?

Hiya,

I was wondering if you would take a little time out to consider the question of, if given the option, would you begin a career in the aviation industry as it is today?

I (possibly!) have the option of following in my father's footsteps and training as a pilot... something which brings the response "It's not what it used to be, son... I wouldn't do it myself..." from him. Saying that - the last thing I can do is sit in an office for the next 40 years. I need diversity and constant mental challenges or boredom / disinterest sets in.

Is it all that bad? Let me know if you would consider the £60k-odd investment worthwhile...

Thanks.
