rivet squeezer……

short answer to your conundrum is No, its not the right career choice. Guess that someone is about to stump up £110k to pay for your training. Then you will take a crap job paying nothing in the hope that one day it will get better. But every day that passes and with every additional new entrant who has paid for his seat the bean counters rub their hands harder and harder while they find new ways to make life that bit more intolerable than before.

When you grow up and have a few less hormones coursing through your body you will realise that after 20 years of 4.30 starts and 21.00 return for 3 days then 2 12.00 starts with 02.00 return can be a bit tiring. And that is if you are lucky enough to get a UK post.

In short, the first few weeks will be fine. It is fun for a bit and you are sitting in a shinny new jet and will have a new iPhone. But the T and Cs are only going one way and it won't be in your favour.
