Get Or Not My Cpl

Hi guys

This is very important to me as I believe it is time for me to put my foot down and decide what to do with my life. I know that we have a lot of people asking the same but my situation is slightly different. I'm 24 yrs old currently have a full time job, not the best in the world but I like it, not earning fortunes but keeps me going lol...

My question and I hope this does not come out as rude but it's to the most experienced out there, who actually have done it or are thinking of doing it.

I LOVE planes and if I could, I would fly everyday just to be in one. At the moment the job I have it is pretty much what you call it a dead end job can't really progress from here and thinking of changing my career to something else that is not what I like there isn't much point. Now what I would love to do is to become a PILOT, but I'm down to earth and I know life isn't easy. My question is??

Is it worth at the present time we are in to risk getting your CPL (considering I would have to borrow most of the ££ and be in debt)

What about your social life (as in family etc) ?

Will things pick up in the flying industry or is it more likely not to improve?

Also to the experienced ones out there, is it better for me to get my PPL first than go for the CPL? (considering money is an issue as i have to save it first lol)


I will appreciate all the help I can get!!!

Thank you for all your answers and support
