Misunderstanding here guys.All I am trying to say is that when there is more "second career" people entering a field then young "straight from schools" then it's a bit scary.By scary I mean that it makes one like my self think.."what am I doing?too risky?I have a huge loan strapped to my back and not many other young guys seem to be doing it?WTF am I doin?".Do you see what I mean.
Don't get me wrong, I am 100% for older guys changing careers and entering into aviation but that wasn't my point.

Compare any other field of education and you will see that it's 90% under 25s studying/training so it makes Aviation be the odd one out.That's another reason why it is so strange although no other field requires 50k plus cash to get started, the difference is stil too significant in my eyes.

cheers again
