It's very simple:
If you have worked and worked and that perverbial brick wall is still there then this is a
career.
If however you "walked" a licence thanks to the bank of mum and dad and then landed a career with BA of course this is the best, easiest thing since sliced bread and everyone should do it.
But what are the odds? How many are in the first bracket compared to the second?
My guess is about 10,000 to 1?
So, do a feel lucky? Well do ya p@@k?
