Just my two penneth worth, is it worth it?

Can't tell you that yet, still instructing, from where I am at the moment on a very meagre wage the answer is no.

A bit of background for you.

Am a third generation farmer, silver spoon in my mouth definately not, worked hard, really hard for twenty years to build some sort of future for myself and my family. For anyone in the know its the ultimate dead mans shoes job, work like a dog until the old man croaks, then maybe you control your destiny!

Methinks at 38, ****** this, could be an oap before it comes right and decides to down size house and retrain. What a good move it was, farming is not so good now and the family, read father, makes me redundant on 24 Dec last year!!!

So guess it depends where you are coming from, leave a well paid job to persue a career in Aviation, possibly think again, its a long hard road and I'm just on the first rung.

I want it really badly, my family depends on it, its tough, your choice, your'e up against some stiff competion.

FF

whatever you decide, best of luck it's fun
