Sad but true.
The amount of people i've had come through the door wanting to become a pilot and then being amazed at the financial outlay and then the incredible difficulty in finding that first job, probably as an FI, and learning how badly paid it is.
We sometimes forget that for every successful pilot in the country, those able to earn a decent living, there are plenty who can't.
Best advise is to join the forces and get them to pay for it while you get paid to learn.
Good luck for all the beginners
