Early Stages - Considering a change in career?

Hi there,

Im currently a teacher, and im young - mid twenties. I have had this idea kicking around in my head for a while, but I would like to change career and look at being an airline Pilot. Ive done a bit of digging around on the internet, and Ive seen the CTC programme. I would be looking to complete my PPL soon, and then consider looking into registering for the CTC Wings programme.

Im just in the early stages at the moment, and was hoping that some of you insiders could give me an insight into it. Is it worth training to do at my age? Is it worth leaving a my current career? Is there much work available?

I have a friend (of a friend) thats just finished the CTC Wings Programme fairly recently, and he has just secured a position with Easyjet, on around £90k a year. Is this something realistic?
