Thanks for all the comments and feedback. I think the biggest hurdle faced by all wannabe’s like myself is the huge financially risk we are accepting.
However, what better investment than education, my thoughts of fulfilling my burning ambious was rekindled after talking to an American post graduate student who thought nothing of taking out a 100k loan for his medical degree (ok so the job prospects are a lot better but he doesn’t get to fly planes on his course).
One more question (think I’ve spent over two days reading all of this website now) is there an age restriction for CTC wings? (Read it was 30 somewhere). Not sure they are allowed to state it with the age discrimination thing but does anyone know of over 30’s getting to interview stages at least.
I am obviously still in the early stages of formulating, plotting and planning but will let you know how I get on in say six months from now.
Cheers.
