Just have the feel to add in my view here.
Ive always wanted to be a pilot however i have thought with my brain and not my heart in my circumstance.
Ive taken the degree route currently at UCL studying maths and physics,after the degree i will go into flight training.
My advice will be just take it easy you have a long time to pursue an aviation career.And the way things are in the industry people with licenses whom cant find a job wish they stayed well clear of the industry until the economy started to pick up.And the wannabes like me cant wait to jump in.So all in all its a different story for us wannabes on the other side.
Your better of paying 5k to a group of aviation experts to predict when the aviation industry is going to pick up rather than gambling 60k.
On the other hand to get your mind on set on things start doing some flying lessons and see how you feel.If you've got the true passion you WILL love it.
Anyway best of luck!
