Off-topic:
IMveryHO... is it worth so much effort and risk for just a job? If we like flying (myself included)... why isn't/wasn't enough to get a PPL and fly for fun on weekends?
And honestly... financially, for me, so far, has been a kick in the b@lls, and I guess for the average person is the same situation. How long does it take until you break even, in the lucky scenario that you find a good job? For me... it will take around 5-6 yrs more (if I'm lucky) (10-12 yrs in total since I got the license). Maybe if I took another path... yes... I would not like my job so much, but... I would be able to go on holidays, have a new car (instead of a '91) and mostly... wouldn't have the weight of such a huge amount of money so young.
I don't mean to put-off anyone with this but... my experience so far has been quite negative, and yes... now I like my job, but wasn't worth all that I had to go through IMHO. You can reach other jobs with good lifestyle other ways.
Sorry for hijacking the thread, but I think it's better to give a reasonably negative version of the story in these cases, along with the positive thoughts.
