Interesting, isn't it, how at 17/18 we think we have to be on the flight deck by our early 20s and when we get to 20/21 we realise there is no real rush.
I'm glad, having seen your initial post, that you chose the direction you did. It is coincidentally the same path I took, albeit a couple of years ahead of yourself.
Whichever route you take you're going to do alright, and that's a nice feeling to have.
