I've been thinking about doing the same, I graduate next january as Msc in aeronautical engineering. I have no PPL but really want to pick up gliding again. I don't know yet wether I will do it (depends on how my engineering job will pay), because as a student I have to work 2 days to be able to fly one hour single engine
It's the most reasonable route you can go i think. Good luck with it!
Thanks for the reply Poeli. Well done on your studies!

I agree it is very expensive to fund lessons! I wouldn't worry too much about the time it takes for you to complete your PPL etc because of the lack of pilot jobs there are at the moment. I have been told by many people to take as long as I need to do my PPL (within reason) because you will get there in the end
Good luck!
