Hmm, sobering thought. I’m actually en-route to the fATPL, the pound signs are rapidly decreasing as we speak…Posting!. At present I am working as a temping teacher to finance this change of direction in my professional career. If things were to fold in upon themselves, I would hope to return to this previous profession. Therefore, in answer to your question, I am a firm believer in being proactive in your approach to life, thus, I would seriously recommend you set in place a ‘get out clause’. Whether this be a Degree, a Diploma or relevant Employment experience, something to redirect to in an emergency. Furthermore, there are insurers where one is able to conduct a policy which would ease the initial financial burden in such a scenario.
I know, all sounds rather negative; however, it is always better to plan for worst case scenario!!! You wouldn’t cross the road without looking would you..?
