Thank you all for the wealth of differing opinions! One thing I'm fairly sure of is that who you know, is of as much importance as what you know, if not more in some cases. My problem of course is that I know very few people having only flown here. It's certainly done me no favours at all to stay as long as I have.
It's obviously quite daunting to step away from a steady well paid job, but it's something I have to do.
Wizzard, I was in no way limiting myself to Police/HEMS jobs, I merely gave an example of somewhere I'd like to be at some point. I'm just trying to find out what else is around as someone who's basicly been living in a hole for 10 years! I would love to be involved in aerial photography/filming as well for example, but where do you start...
I'm basicly trying to get as much info as possible at this stage.
