A friendly welcome?
Hello all,
I am new here and having read thoroughly (more or less) this entire thread i have one simple question - mostly aimed at those who seem to be in the know e.g. WWW et al.
When?
Having endured (and i mean endure!) as a graduate in the financial services for the past 1.5 years - i have now decided to leave the rat race having realised that no one (short of being a disgraced bank chief) will make money there these next few years.
Disgruntled?
Only slightly... I have managed to accrue some valuable experience and contacts in finance and have even managed to pay half of my student loan back as well as saving a tidy £20,000 - all whilst maintaining most of my integrity and bearing fostered by my alma mata (the #1 UAS)
So being a recent graduate + 2.5 years UAS experience (60-70 hours grob + wings) and £20,000 in the bank earning close to negative interest - when do you recommend i take up OAA and 'follow the dream' ???
I should throw this in here now, a friend of mine left to study OAA 1.5 years ago and after months of interviews scored a wonderful job at a recognised airport flying routes into europe - evidence that there is hope for anyone tenacious enough to go toe to toe with the interview boards!!
p.s. any advice on what my flying options are are ofcourse welcome!
