Career roadmap to Asia? Any advice?
Long time reader, first time poster.
I want to start my training in earnest some time this year or next year.
I am going to be almost totally self funded (Work then blow each paycheck on lessons) so I guess it will take a while. I am lucky in that I can stay at my grandparents' house free of rent while I'm training so I will be able to put away a good chunk of money towards flying.
I want to eventually be based in Asia. I speak Japanese and have been living in Japan for the last 2 years (Still live in Tokyo), I would like to live here permanently or at least be able to commute from here (I.e. KAL or something).
Does anyone have any kind of advice for me on what I should do? Specifically, what kind of training path would you recommend for someone like me who wants to live and work in Asia?
My bg info:
Age: 24, 25 in a few months (Getting old..damn it)
Education: No degree. Guessing I'm gonna need one?
Current licenses: None. I've got around 5 or 10 hours from when I started flying back in 1998 or so.
Languages: English, French, Japanese, could learn Korean easily enough
