Every wondered why the 'average "spotty faced kids"' are getting the jobs and not you? I suppose you paid for your entire university education without any support from your parents. £40000+ is needed if you choose to study medicine, arcitecture or the longer than normal universtiy degrees, however for us 'spotty faced kids' who have borrowed, scraped and worked bloody hard for the required cash to forfill our dreams, we stand to pay back our parents & bank managers over a very short time therefore making the whole process very efficent. Out of 200 who left my school two and half years ago there are only two of us who are earning £30000+. As for experience, I worked as a dispatcher from the age of 17 during weekends which paid for my PPL and did work experience in ATC several times a week for 2 years. As for my first job, it came from persistance. You make your own luck.
