Thanks Steve,
I'm getting loads of great responses that are keeping me motivated and what's more, i can show my wife that hopefully this isn't going to be a great waste of money.
I am currently working at Boeing Australia as a tech writer which is financing my CPL training part time and i hope to finish it next year. I turn 40 in April so i want to get a move on. We dont own a house or anything so i am thinking of trying to get into CTC in England as i have a British passport as well as an Australian passport. I'm not sure how to finance this yet though. I notice they say they can get you finance from one of the banks there but i'm not sure if that would apply to a non resident (Even though i am a citizen).
I'm glad there are lots of us older wannabes out there.
Marty
