60k is just the start
60k will not get you a job. It will only just about get you a CPL(H). From then on you will either have to get total of 250 hours then do a F.I. course which may be another 10k or so or do a I.R. which is in the region of 30-40k.
Once you have done one of these then you will get work. 60k is just the start unfortunately.
On a positive side it's not all doom and gloom as some people may think. You pay your money work hard and the benefits are there eventually.
Good luck.
