@zondaracer, I would say exactly same few month ago to somebody asking this as you said to me now..
However, leaving home and going 5000km away for period of 7 years is easier said then done.. You have to understand me, I`m going through tough period and for me this is a huge move. We I came here I had all motivation in the world, I scored above 90% at every exam AND then information about licence hit me like a lightning ( because they told that they are JAA approved ).
Even some instructors are telling me "you are stuck here" all the time which is veryy veryyy depressing...
