Do the bank of mummy and daddy a favour.
Join the RAF, by the sounds of it you'll fit right in. If you have the brain power you can work on some beautiful fast jets, if not choppers or Hercules for a few years and then jump ship to the airlines. You'll save your parents the best part of 100,000ukp, get the best training and get to see a lot of the world. You might have to bomb parts of it but for a 100k there isn't much I won't do!!!!!
I have just finished modular, CAA have my paperwork as we speak, crap timing but then thats life. My little blue licence cost me 35k, with 250+ hours total time (passed CPL/IR minimum times), if you go to OAA that EXACT same licence will cost you 80K minimum.
In my groundschool class of 5 guys only little old me is not working on a 737!
