CPL.
I had no idea what I was getting into when I left for Africa.
I had enough of working a ground job dispatching aircraft and knew where I wanted to be. I quit my job and sold everything and a month after making the decision, I was on a plane for Jo'burg.
Two years later I was leaving again with nearly 2000hrs and 500 turbine.
You have to remember. It is only money. If all goes sour, you can always go home again and build up your savings for another go somewhere else.
Africa was my third attempt after Australia and Indonesia.
Sure 10k could buy you another 60hrs in a Cessna... or it could give you the chance to get 1500hrs.
