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
The more I look into it the more my dream gets crushed to bits. You get one shot at this life and to spend £85k on a job where you might end up on £25k is just bloody awful. Im better off flying as a qualified PPL pilot as a hobby and enjoying flying whilst earning a nice salary as a salesman. This is the reality. Sad but true?! Someone please convince me otherwise.
