Hi there,

Like some other ppl I was in the same position as you are now in. I wanted to fly, but 2 years ago the market was really down. No hirings, no cadetships, just nothing! Even OAA coudn't place their students. Okay, they placed some, but there were a lot of students without a job. Now it is becoming slightly better, but far from good! But when was the market at his best?

The biggest reason for me that I went to study is that I want a back up plan. Because when I'm 50 years old and my eyes are giving it slightly up, I could do something else. With this study, it is possible.

I'm not the most motivated person in my class. But I work hard to gain good notes and first passes.. Don't want to resit exams..

Oh besides: if you are doing it for the money.. do it good. I'm now 7 days busy. I'm doing an internship, going to school and I'm working in the weekends for money (to pay the college fee and saving up for a PPL).

I can tell you this: it is sh*t and it is sh*t. Choose the one with less sh*t..
