St Helier. I just got my PPL on wednesday (my 17th birthday was on Tuesday) and I did my first solo on my 16th birthday (I was very lucky with the weather). I was in the exact same situation as you at an earlier stage in my training. I already had a job but I worked a lot more hours which enabled me to pay for the flying. I also didn't get any funding from my parents. But you will do it no problem, if you want it, you will get it. Happy flying! Alan Hunter
