Started my training in 1992 had to stop 6 months later ran out of fund. Worked as cleaner and warehouse storeperson on partime basis for few years.
Saved up some cash, was lucky....lived at home and had no other commitments ie single and NO GF. Well, who wants to go out with a hygiene engineer....
)
So, did my CPL and IR in 2001. Cut long story short my 1st job in 2007.
Moral of the story, stop bitching get on with your life if this is what you want then focus and keep at it.
Otherwise do something else. by the way don't expact life style of rich and famous with your pay packet...
But, it i will not do anything else...
Good luck
