Hi

The situation I am in is I am 28 and want to start a career in the aviation industry, which i regret not doing straight from school but I do have a trade behind me and a whole lot of knowledge and life experience.

The issue is I have a home loan now and to pay upfront the costs involved to get my CPL I would have to sell my place and rent until I can buy again in the future.

That is why I am considering either bachelor of aviation at Griffith or Swinburne Uni mainly because i can defer the flight training costs using hecs and fee help and have minimum initial out of pocket expense.

What are peoples thoughts? I know my age is an issue but I am at a point in my life that I want to be in a career I love for the next 30 + years in my life, even if I don't make excessive amounts of money.

Cheers in advance for the input.
