At your age I would feel guilty about exposing my family to the risks and lifestyle of a career changing pilot. I wouldn't do it.

Life as an instructor is ****. I've done it at volunteer level, PPL level and CPL/IR level. Its **** and poorly paid. You will hate it and I'll stamp over your rose tinted glasses if you don't.

If I were a Wannabe right now then YES I'd stop training . My job prospects would be rubbish and getting worse. I'd do something else. Flying is driving taxis in the air. There is no glamour. There are no riches.

BE very very careful.
