Rudy,
thought about Griffith University's Gadiate Diploma of Aviation Management AND/or Bachelor of Aviation? It seems a great way to get into it if you don't have the money (but PLEASE, have your heart in it. Don't do it 'cause "...looked like a good idea at the time?!" Accidents happen like that, and as my instructor pointed out to me very early, you will literally kill yourself if you don't pay attention)

I believe it's a good thing to have in case of the unexpected (imagine an injury that meant you were unable to fly ever again)! Also, if you think this may interest you, try a career in ATC? I hear they pay almost as well as pilots? If i had my time again, I'd have done it straight out of high school (assuming there weren't any age restriction)
