New, eager but now confused...

Hey all,

My name is Jack and I am 21.

Have always had a large interest in aviation since early teens, done 6 hours of flying and then stopped as I started a full time job.

Having worked and saved about 7k now I was looking into completing an intensive PPL in the US. Finding this forum via the internet has been really helpful, so firstly thanks for the content.

I am now a little concerned with the lack of jobs threads and severely depressed people (). I firstly would like to pass my PPL and spend a good few years as an instructor, join a flying club and using my licence to take family and friends on holiday (perhaps not in that order). Enjoy the experience!

I would however like it to end up in a career perhaps in 10 years time after gaining a good few hours and years. How does that sound to you in the know?

Another couple of questions;

I could probably bump doing my ppl to doing an instructor course at the same time, is this worth doing over aged experience?

I am having thoughts of staying in the US as long as my M1 visa will allow and getting any sort of job within the US, are the chances any higher?

Thanks in advance.
