I allegedly wanted to be a Vulcan pilot from about 4 or 5. Here I am 50 years later, a 747 pilot, and I still want to be a Vulcan pilot. Bit sad really. But I still don't want to be anything else. On the strength of a sudden passing whim, tell me who is going to go into hock for £50k+ for a job they don't really know they'd like? It's not any criticism of anybody to say 'are you sure you are really suited enough to a very arduous and difficult career, with your earning ability dependent upon unstable employers, parsimonious accountants, and doctors with big teeth who are going to make you jump through hoops every six months?' Be sure- be very sure! It takes a lot of enthusiasm and love of aeroplanes to stand the course. The job has been good to me, but I had a lifelong dedication. One of my closest friends who trained and joined with me left after 10 years to start his own office business. Another's health failed. One third didn't complete the course. Several more had health problems. Half who started in 1969 are gone. Not many who suddenly fancy it are going to take the difficult parts. But good luck if you go for it........but you won't!
