Just my 2 pence:
  • Don't pursue the military route unless your heart is set on a career in the forces. Although attending the assessment process will offer you some assessment experience you'll only be wasting your time and the time of the lovely people at Her Majesty's flying club. Don't fool yourself into following something you don't want to follow. If you're hearts not in it there's usually no point in doing it.
  • (assuming you haven't already) Get yourself a nice degree totally un-related to aviation which makes you a professional in something. It's always good to have something you can fall back on! Yeah, it'll add about 20K to your debts but who knows, the better jobs you'll be able to get because of it may offer you more in remuneration in the long run.
  • (assuming you haven't already) Get your PPL! You may find it enough to sooth your hard-on for flying. If not, pursue the commercial route once you've done the degree. If you don't have the money to learn to fly light aircraft then try and find a gliding club. Believe it or not it's just like real flying but without the hefty price tag. (sarcasm)
  • Continue to take criticism so well on these forums. I admire your calm forum manner!
End.
