Should I risk it?
Not my first post but I have had to change my name!!
I shall be 37 yrs old next month and I currently work in security for HM Government which pays me £45-50000 pa. I have passed the ATPL theory and now have to make a decision regarding my career. Do I spend another £20000 to get my ATPL and attempt to enter a seriously insecure aviation industry that is only likely to get worse with the impending Iraq conflict or do I delay my training until this is over..bearing in mind age is not on my side. The other thought which is very strong at the moment is to give up the dream for the financial security of my family as spending 20-25 grand would just about take all our money and even with the remote possibility of a job at the end would pay significantly less than what I earn at present.
Your advice would be appreciated
