Got invited to interview at ULAS back when I was a medical student and I got to the stage were I was given a choice.
1) Become a doctor in NHS
2) Become a pilot in RAF
I chose 1) and was told not to let the door hit me on the ass on the way out of the room.
Of course they said I would be welcome to join as a medical officer, in fact there was a degree of begging for me to do that, but I would be looking after the pilots, not joining them. I had previously rejected that, no idea why, but I did.
In fact I have no idea why I wanted to be a doctor either, but I digress.
But to become a pilot? They felt that wanting to be a doctor displayed all the wrong stuff.
Could have changed since of course, this was 30 odd years ago.
