Jez you guys are starting to frighten me.
I'm actually doing an Aerospace Engineering degree. And I could be heading into my final year but decided against. Since there really is nobody employing I thought that taking a gap year and doing some things under my belt.

I want to finish my PPL exams - I currently have 20 hours and want to do the exams this year and blitz through the flying next summer. I'm hoping this will show employers the genuine intrest in Aviation i have.

I then am planning on learning a language (French or Spanish, not decided) to maybe make me look more attractive to prospective employers.

I then am looking at short courses, in Cranfield University, however they are quite expenisve and are generally for those already in Management positions in Airlines.

Do you guys not think this to be a good idea?

However yes I am not sure about the exams to go for first. I suppose the more "boring" ones to get out of the way like Air Law and Human Factors was my first opinion. Then I thought it was more sensible to go for the RT Licence.

However your comments about my gap year have me in a bit of a bummer.
