911. Dont do it!
Im 38, just finished the ATPL exams with BGS (Highly recommend) and am about to start the CPL in early March. Whilst I doubt very much that I'll ever be a 747 captain, I know that I've got another 20 good years ahead of me. I've sold virtually everything I own in order to fund this obsession, including my house and prized Harley Davidson
but, hopefully, it will be worth it in the long run.
Stick with it, ride out the current bad times with the rest of us wannabes and one day, when you're looking out of the window at FL350, you'll know its worth it.
