What To Do?

Have a bit of a dilemma and need some advice. At the moment I'm in a extremely well paid job and a few weeks ago applied for some time off to do the ATPL fulltime (before anyone asks, part-time study is not an option as I do not have the fortitude or conviction for such a task).

Anyway the leave was refused and now I have the option of sticking with the job or quitting and risking it all on a career which may or may not happen. It's quite a big leap and I was wondering if anyone else had a similar experience.

At the end of the day I know I can get the licence but there is no guarantee of a job and this is what scares me. If I had more balls I would just say **** it and dive in at the deep end but I wan't to way up all the risks.

Its basically a junction in the road, if I go left I stay in the safety and security of a job that I don't enjoy doing. Or I could turn right and risk it all.

Any opinions or words of advice
