Lots of good advice on this thread, and definitely not too negative as some are suggesting, just plain realistic.
Let's face it, if you're going to do it, you're going to do it, nothing that anyone syas will stop you, however it is important that you go in with your eyes well and truly open.
There are a lot of us already with a licence waiting for things to recover, and the schools are churning out more every day...
All the best whatever you choose.
cheers!
