35 ? 40 ?
Blimey ! Consider yourselves lucky - I am 57 !
That said, I did get the ATPL issued this year, at last, after 10 years of on and off struggle. Hardest bit of paper I have ever earned and by far the most expensive. Ab initios take note.
But translation into a job ? That is quite a different matter.
I live in hope but with dwindling optimism. But I have had fun trying thus far and maybe that is what makes it all worthwhile for it is better than working.
If I get a job, any job, gissajob, I will let you all know.
