My ten pen'orth

You get one shot at this life. Also consider choosing a career that could lead to a far greater income potential than working for somebody else.

You might then ultimately achieve your own personal machine and fly purely when you want to. Terrific fun always and never a chore.

Flying helicopters commercially sounds great but as the highly experienced contributors on this forum point out, you might end up with a flying job you really don't like, and earning cr@p money.

Your own machine, in your own hangar at home is an amazing privilege. Set yourself that target instead?!

Just my ten pen'orth.
