Guys
Once again thanks for all your thoughts.
Spoke to my Flight School regarding the FI Rating today. They are fully booked until April so I'll have to wait until then to start. Loads of people are showing interest in the course and most, if not all, are in the same position as me.
As standard policy in my school, they prefer to employ instructors that they have taught (to keep a sense of standardisation he says), this is slight good news for me, because i'll have a good chance of actually getting a job with them whether its part time or full time. Also spoke to a friend in the middle east and seems the job prospects for FI's is good up there. Car, Apartment and $3000 per month.
I suppose I'm almost convinced this is the ''wisest'' move in these troubled times and i'm going to book myself in for the course, I've got a couple of months before i start unless something else comes along in the meantime.
Regards
MHN
