Starting PPL and want to become a pilot

Hi there,
I want to become a pilot, but dont have the around £80000 to go to a flight school.

Im studying in university at the moment and starting my ppl part time. every one or two weeks

If my pilot career fails iv atleast will get a degree and can do a boring office job

im looking at doing my ppl with this company here

Halfpenny Green Flying Centre : Private Pilot Training PPL : Commercial Pilot

i want to know will i be able to get a job as a pilot by doing the ppl and then the cpl. or will i have to do something else


I also want to know where i can take the medical test in the west midlands as i wear glasses and dont want to waste money paying for lessons if it isnt possible at all, my eyesight isnt that bad but just to make sure.

I also heard that you have to carry two pairs of glasses with you while flying.is this correct

thank you in advance and sorry for the long first post but im exicted
