PWP, Have you tried asking your parents to help you out financially? You can try that. If you explain to them, its not just about PPL, its your career. I think it is important you also think about how you will finance the rest of your training. I know it is very daunting when you think about what lies before you, you are exactly in my position, a school leaver (but with a job!). Im still running around to find work for a month now, no luck
