Cherrytaz, you may think that prospects of getting a job as a civil engineer anywhere in the world may not be that good, but looking for a pilot job 2 years from now could be thousands of times more frustrating.

A friend of mine bought a 70 000 euro loan 9 years ago, just weeks before 9/11. He hasn' t been able to secure a job, has given up hope after 7 years. He was lucky that he went modular and that he had a job because he is on his own (no parents).
Now he is starting a small business but finds himself restrained by 1000 euro monthly loan repayments that he has to keep up with for another 4 years.

As a civil engineer, there is a worldwide market open to you, don' t limit yourself to your own area. There' s many many countries in western and eastern Europe looking for people with your qualifications, especially for government contracts.

It' s your money (that you don' t own yet) and you do what you want with it, but you should face reality. This is not a joke.

With that kind of money you can start your own small engineering business.
