Cool

No crime in wanting to be a pilot, realistically however, you have to consider your prospective career in aviation as a means of keeping a roof over your head. You might be keen to work for peanut's now, but once you are qualified reality sets in and you will probably end up like everyone else.

Sponorship's are thin on the ground, so you have to formulate an alternative plan.

1) Get into BIG debt to pay for an approved CAP 509 course.

2) Get a real job and use the money to pay for lesson's.

3) Marry someone who is rich (I have seen this one work once, daddy had a Learjet).

4) Keep dreaming and go about your every day business until you are too old to change.

The question is, how badly do you want to do this job, and it is a job.
