Thanks for the advice, but the way I see this is that I can continue in work for 5 years ish, in a field that pays me about 1000 pounds a month, whilst trying to save for flying and (by the time im 20 ish) also have enough to be living with my partner and thinking about marriage and family. It just aint gonna happen on the wage im on. Ok i have a levels but no Uni degree. I want to work in an airport (on the crums it pays) and not behind a desk. So its go for it now and come out of debt sooner by hopefully getting a job within 5 years or stick it out on crums for wages for 5 years and wait 8 years before im an airline pilot. I already have about 2/5ths of the money needed to reaching this goal anyway so a loan wont be neccassary for about 2 years yet (just to let you know my picture).
Working alongside Jet2, and speaking to their ops and asking how its looking for jobs and them telling me that its going well, there expanding, alot of there elder pilots are moving on to larger airlines, we need men .... its not too bad.
I know i'm going to get the "go to Uni arguement", but why create more debt at this financial time of bleak? HBOS would not have gone down if its own customers had not have panicked. Fact. When you have a family member that works high up in the busines you find out one or two things.
Thats just my view.
I also think that people like your self, and others, continually telling us how bad this recession is are only making it worse. I have studied economics and consumer confidence goes a long way in casuing the problems we are having now.
