What would you do?!
You're 26.
Let’s say you owned a company, which was turning over 1.2 million a yearwith about a 35% profit margin (gross)
The business is expanding but is operating in a terrible market, 35-40% ofnet profits are used in expansion plans. The end result would be a profitablebusiness but not really sellable as a going concern so you'd have to do it forthe rest of my working days.
You had two business partners who were family, profits are shared and youearned a reasonable wage out of it (45K) plus the business bank balance...ifyou needed anymore.
Sounds great but you dislike the job, and despise the industry. You're goodat it but even though its your own bag it feels like a bit of choir.
You have your PPL (completed 15 months ago)
You love flying
You feel like you could go to work every day as a pilot and actually lookforward to flying. Not sat in the office.
You could sell your share in the business to pay for the training and moneyto live off for 2/3 years.
Your pretty intelligent but not so much in a academically way. Verypractical and knowledgeable.
You can pass exams if you put the effort in.
But
You've worked for yourself since you were 17
You'd quite like to stay in the UK and preferable in the NW where I am now
You're GCSEs were average, Cs Few Bs and Ds
Average/Good at maths
Poor at English
You would need to earn around late 30s minimum within a few years.
You’ve never had to interview for anything..your current industry is apeople business where contacts matter.
Would you train CPL? Go for the airline with the end goal of captain (orfurther roles but still flying)
