camel toe - I congratulate anyone who finds a way of self funding their training so forgive me for being a tad rude here but ask yourself this...How old are you now, how old will you be when you complete your training...in reality how can you pay rent/mortgage whilst saving etc. and finally I work in a fairly well paid job which is salaried and not hourly i.e no special overtime rate...so how are you finding enough money to save to complete your training? Believe me I have looked at this option but when I sat down and worked it all out it would take me around 8-10 years to complete the training! So bearing in mind that I am now 21 I wouldn't be able to get my first job until I was 31 at the earliest. Yes I would be reasonably debt free but between now and 10 years time I could have completed my training, got a job and paid back a very large part of my initial borrowing.
To me it just doens't make sense to do it this way anymore. And besides whilst my mrs is prepared to support me in anything I do, it isn't really fair to ask her to live at home for the next 10 years until I can get a job.
Now please don't mistake this for me having the "I want an ATPL and I want it now" attitude because nothing could be further from the truth, I am prepared to give up everything, work my arse off for a few years and then fight to get a job like everyone else...but there are limits in terms of time in my book and 10 years is just too long.
All comes back to reality.
