I agree with clear prop and sagey.
when I was at school all the careers master wanted to do (it seemed )was to get his quota's for the car factory and the ship yard.
I was positively discouraged from being a pilot of any variety by someone who probably had dificulty understanding his own key roles and objectives, let alone those of the professional pilot. In fact at my school the careers master was not interested in anyone unless they were in the top 10% of the form.
At the age of thirteen when a professional
person tells you that there is no chance of ever flying as a career or as a hobby(yes)
because you will never have what it takes,
then they were believed.(should have asked the c**** for a show of his license)
anyway enough of my moaning on about the folly that is my past, I finally get to the point.
My point is that you should never give up in trying to achieve your goal, whatever that may be!
Life is too short to be worrying about what may happen in the future.
As with the sad events of sep 11th and the knock on effects to the industry and general aviation i would still encourage people to
learn to fly and develop themselves with a view to becoming a professional pilot.
anyway enough of my rattling on, good luck everyone !
ps down with negative attitudes.
