Hi All,
Thanks so much for your replies - it would seem that I have more options open to me that I first thought!
You're all right in what you're saying - a hobby becomes a job when you no longer enjoy it! I'm very early on in my flying and I'm thinking very far ahead. I think I was a little taken a back by the news and was feeling pretty low.
There's lots to think about and a couple of you who PM'ed me have given me some very good ideas.
Thanks again!
DJ
