My new career has not yet begun... I've got all the CPL exams (UK national) and I start the flying course this weekend. I've taken two weeks off from work (couldn't get more) and I've got my fingers crossed that the weather will be kind enough to allow me to complete the course in that time.
I know I shouldn't have my eggs in one basket but I've got the usual commitments i.e. wife, kid (plus another on the way), mortgage etc. and chucking another 20K at becoming and instructor for meagre returns, or 30K at an instrument rating seems to be less than prudent. I'll keep my fingers crossed in the short term and doubtless plan B will evolve during that period.
One thing's for certain: I've not come this far to give up now.
