Thanks for all the replies.
At this stage, I'm not particularly keen on chasing a jet flying career, and whilst things can change, I see my ultimate goal to be working for a regional carrier or remaining in GA.
I like to think that the life experience I have from working etc will be a positive for potential future employers, compared to an 18-20 year old who has only ever worked at Kmart and lived at home with mum and dad.
