I ask because I do not know a single person who got his ATPL/CPL/IR etc, and has not found a job - some as instructors, some with Ryanair, etc.
That may be true, but the $64000 question is: are those jobs paying those individuals enough money to:
1. Repay any loans taken out to fund training
and
2. Allow themselves (and perhaps their families if applicable) to have a decent lifestyle?
