Great post Tinstaafl

Here's my advice:
  • Get a job, save as much as you can
  • You need to build up an income and credit history
  • After 2-3 years you should be able to get a loan based on the yearly income from your job
  • Take a year off from work and get all your flight training done, start paying off your loan with the money that you ahve saved already
  • Go back to work, start paying off your loan with teh maney that you make and start looking for flying jobs
  • With a bit of luck you should be flying for a living in 4-5 years.

maybe get a job in the offshore oil industry, they make good money....bl@@dy hard work though.....
