I am in a bit of a bind at the moment. I finished school last year, Ireland, got a good Leaving Cert and deferred my college place for this year. I have been working to save money to pay for my PPL, which I am loving, except for the terrible weather we have had all summer, haven't flown for a month now.
Still, my time off, (full time education) is coming to an end. And now I must decide whether to continue in my current job which I do not enjoy at all, and continue to earn money, save for CPL/IR ATPL writtens, multi rating and FI rating, and hope that in four years time the airline industry is recruiting, there are instructor jobs and the traditional progression is restored, or go to college, graduate, at which time I will still be only 23, get a better, i.e. better paying more tolerable job, and save and borrow and start training then.
I would really appreciate any suggestions, especially people in a similar situation. Read with interest the thread on apprenticeship in the merchant navy.
All comments welcome....
And are there any other Weston students out there...
