If being a pilot only 'interests' you, then you have answered your own question. It should be a burning desire that you will sell your Grandmother to achieve, not a passing interest.

Unless you have a considerable bank balance, or willingness to take on an extensive amount of debt, coupled with a determination that would shame the most ardent explorer, I would suggest that it is not the career for you.

Read the Wannabe's threads if you want a taste of reality. Too many pilots chasing too few jobs.

Aviation has always followed a cyclic pattern of boom and bust which means you never know how long a good thing will last.

Sorry if that sounds brutal, but it is not an industry for the faint hearted.
