Hi Davey. Welcome to Pprune.
Sorry to hear about your disappointment, but later on you may realise that it was the best thing that ever happened to you.
Professional flying is far from the romantic notion that most people seem to have, and the novelty of a cool hat and stripey sleves soon wears very thin indeed.
If you want to fly, get a good job in an industry that has at least a little respect for you as an individual, get a PPL and fly for fun!
As to the fun you can have as a PPL holder, that's up to you. The possibilities are almost endless, and I'm sure that lots of people will follow me here, suggesting their particular favourite form of aviation.
Good luck!
MJ
