Do yourself a big favor and save your cash! You know the saying about the grass is greener....... well it ain't!
You're 33, established with family and the works...By the time you've paid your way and got your helicopter license you'll be 35 easily. Now, if you're getting through the interviews for offshore(you must get in before 40 though) then fine, otherwise you'll be topping your salary at about 750K NOK (after maybe starting out at 1k on a daily rate!!) for more work and less structure, and that is IF you get hired. There are loads of younger, single pilots who would sell their granny in order to work seemingly for free for a few years to get a chance of being a pilot.

My 2 cents, is to move to the sandbox and get on with the wide bodies....

Cheers
