rivet squeezer, I would implore you to change your career if you haven't started and quit if you have, but I know that it's pointless.

So all I will say is best of luck. Save money. Go hog wild for the first year and #€% all the hostesses and get an M3 but after that, save ALL the money.

Repay your debts, save enough to live off of if you decide to leave and start figuring out something to study during cruise.

I give anyone starting today 1/500 chance of retiring as a pilot.

Myself I'm still thinking about leaving and I do have some options. Not sure just yet. And just to be clear, I have one of the desirable jobs in Europe.

Aviation isn't about "getting a job" it's about getting a good job. You can fly cargo out of Nigeria for 5 bucks and fall asleep to gun fire at night but is that a career? A life? Fewer and fewer good jobs and a steady stream of pilots willing to pay to get them.

Game. Set. Match.

Don't do it.
