Question starting out

Hi Guys and Gals,

I need some help please!

I want to become a pro-pilot and do my ppl(h) which I am going to pay for up front, followed by my cpl(h) which I know is going to cost me a arm and a leg. On passing these what would you advise my next step to be in order to build hours. Also what ratings will I need in order of importance to get a job.
I have heard I can get a interest free loan for training and payment holidays from the goverment. is this true.


I am 33, am I to old to start a career or sholud I just get my ppl and have a hobby?
Also what kind of hours will I need to get my first job and whats it likely to pay and what will it be doing.

determined to live my dream.


Thanks for the help ppl.

Bill
