Heavy Flyer. Whatever you do, get a job FIRST. Do not get a loan for anything unless you have a guaranteed method of paying it back. Looking at the various flight forums, I can't see any hope currently of walking into a job flying with no experience/contacts.
You are a young person living in the south east right? Take some advice, I have been contracting in IT for over 13 years, and thats where you want to be looking for work in the shorter term. Like most area's of employment right now, things are slow even in IT, but, if you are prepared to travel for work (and London must be close for you), it is there. Even calldesk staff are earning @20K per year with little/no IT training. Use a role like that to help fund your flying, and PLEASE don't get loans for anything you can't pay back within 6 months or so.
