Chrispike7,

I would like to offer you some realistic advice
1) a CPL-H on its own is not going to work unless you are v.lucky
2) a FI(H) or an IR(H) will be required as an add on as a minimum
3) you ain't gunna get rich with the FI but you will get hours - bargain on £25k max p.a if you are busy
4) it's the worst time in the world to do the IR(H) right now due low oil price but next year or the year after who knows - if the offshore boys pick you up
5) bottom line is yes follow your dream but please have a plan B if it doesn't work.
Hope this is helpful
