Hi Jack,
I am now a little concerned with the lack of jobs threads and severely depressed people
You won't like it, but most of the people posting here are wannabes or experienced pilots, so it would be a raisonnable guess to say that most people who got depressed, who gave up, who came back to their first career, who have no hope anymore, in debts... don't even bother writing here. When people are "successful", or want to be, they tend to share a bit more than when they quit or "fail".
So what you can read from some "depressed" people here is probabely only the top of the iceberg.
I would however like it to end up in a career perhaps in 10 years time after gaining a good few hours and years.
Most of the organisation/administration in the world (like Eurocontrol or the US army for example) are starting to consider a fuel shortage (and fuel speculation to happen well before) in 2020-2030. Sure, we can ignore it. But what does it make us by doing so?
The result on aviation is uncertain, but it would be foolish to say that's a good thing.
So you are speaking about 10 years? Enjoy them, those next 10 years. They maybe the best ones for us concerning the future.
