Begrudgingly went for a boring, reasonably well paid job in aviation to pay for flying training.
Years later got fATPL via integrated route and frugal living. By then decided that job wasn't so boring and that reasonable job security with stable lifestyle outweighed any previously perceived glamour of the airlines. Rather happy now to have gone down that path but with 20/20 hindsight should probably gone for very well paid job outside aviation to be able to afford the aircraft I see the city boys flying rather than the spams I make do with. Never mind, life is good
