IR or FI Rating or Type Rating??

Hello All,

Hmmmmm, decisions, decisions, decisions....

Post CPL I will have approx £28k left in the pot.

I reckon there are three options:

1) I could go straight for the IR which would leave me approx £16k in the pot, this could pay for an MCC and the FI Rating. At this point I am employable as a FI but on uber low wages and unable to afford a TR.

2) Get the IR, MCC and have £13k approx left for a TR. Are there any TRs for £13k ???? Go straight into Job hunting.

3) Sod the IR and do the FI Rating post CPL keep £21k approx in the bank for a year and then do IR but will only then have £10k approx left for a TR.

I am 32 in 5 days and need some advice asap. For info I will be doing all training at BCFT and if instructing would aim to instruct for them or work for FRA if poss.

Ooooh almost forgot, anyone know if there are many instructing opportunities in the USA?

Thanks

MFWF
