'Get real'.

If I had taken all the well-meant advice to heart about not bothering to continue my dream of becoming a CPL, then I wouldn't be in a position to write this.
Ultimately, whether you become a CPL or not will not be predicated on the advice you receive from me or anyone else on this or any other forum. Those that have achieved their goals - any goals - have had one thing in common - determination. In years to come you'll hopefully realise that nothing that anyone has told you has had any influence on your decision. Except, that, if you give up easily you hadn't got what it would have taken.
I can't put into words the frustration, anguish and despair I've felt in getting to where I am, to where I wanted to be. If you've got what it takes you'll probably feel that too. I have no regrets about pursuing my dream job, but I could easily have taken the well meant advice in the early days to stop at a PPL and hire an aircraft to do what I want when I want. That would have caused me to regret a great deal now in not knowing what might have been.
So get busking, and I'll dig out some spare copper.
