Hi all,
Having always wanted to be an airline pilot I never thought about going to University, until recently that is. This will allow me a much wider range of options and I already have a couple of places with some Universities. My question is as the title says, finance. The average debt for a university student is now £10,000. Others must have been in my position, how on earth do I pay off my University debt, pay for even a substandard flat, car, food etc AND flight training? Does anybody know how long it takes the average person to pay of a £10K debt, pay for flight training and then hour building? When ever I mention to people that I want to be an airline pilot I am always told that their is absolutly no way because I am not a millionaire! I have up until now dismissed these people and thought them to be ignorant (especially when their next comment is 'yeah but you gotta be really strong to be a pilot!'
Grrrrrrr!!!)
To be honest, I really am starting to get some doubts. Could anyone post their thoughts on the matter?
Thanks
