Yehh looks like the 3 of us are in the same position and taking similar approaches.
I did Multimedia Tech and IT Studies and manage to find a job within 2 weeks of graduating (I'm still there now). Had a great time at Uni and it's made a good back up plan. I dabbled with everything from ASP.net &
VB to Photoshop & 3D Studio Max and working in Video/sound studios all day.
I'm now branching out into Networking as I have many friends in that area who could potentially put my name on the top of the CV pile. BUT That isn't my goal it's just a back up plan.
My goal like BP is to go to the states in Oct '08 and get my FAA PPL (with EAA) and when I get back study for my ATPL GS via BGS for 12 months while still in full time employment, after gaining sufficient hours and passing all 14 exams I'll be looking to re-asses the aviation industry in March '09 and go back to the sates to gain all FAA rating and instruct out there before heading back here and doing the conversions and MCC.
... Or at least that is the plan.
I'm looking to complete the FAA's debt free and then taking out a loan for the conversions and MCC.
If I time it wrong and all hell breaks loose when I get back from the US then I'll simply join my friends in the networking industry and fly for fun while instructing at the weekends until a TP FO spot gets made available for a pilot with 1,500+ hrs
PM me if you have any questions.
