Accountancy or Commercial Pilot?
Ive always had a dream. That is to fly a commercial Airliner. (Im crazy i know)
Problems - My parents aren't rich and i cannot afford the training.
However i am soon to start University studying Accountancy and Finance which i know i will be very good at.
Now after the degree i am guarenteed a graduate job earning roughly £20,000 per year.
That will increase as i gain more experience. However i really want to fly.
Would you agree that i should gain experience as an accountant and then say when im 28/29 start training for a fATPL? I should have some money saved if i go modular?
And i will always have my degree in accountancy to fall back onto if i do not make it?
By the way, i am 18 and i am going to start flying lessons within the next month which go towards a PPL so im on the right track i think.
Opinions welcome.
Thanks
