£30k to spend and how to spend it!

Ok so here's how it is!

I'm a 25 year old guy from scotland with around £30k, maybe £35k, to spend on flight training. Looking to give up my current job, superyacht engineer, in the next few months and get into flying.

I currently have zero hours.

At the moment I am think about going to tayside avaiation, only 45 mins from home, and doing ppl, through to commercial. I'm esitmateing the around £26k and think tayside is a good option as I believe it has an excellent reputation. I visited them and they were very helpful showed me a round and had a go on the sim

I have budgeted living expenses for a year so that's sort of my time scale before having to earn some more money!

Any thoughts??

I have also considered the states etc and open to suggestions but a bit concerned about the costs of conversions etc

Finally after compelting up commercial what's the best next step, do and instructor course and gain some hours or go for a instrument rating or what??

Thanks for your sugggestions
