I would go against what most will say in here, I'd say..........NO!
As someone mentioned, most will say yes in here, but of those who say 'yes' i suspect they fall into three groups of people:
1. Those who are very well off and can afford to 'toss away' 50K if the training/jobs market goes belly up,
2. Those who will work/struggle/scrimp and save for a few years risking everything to get there, and................
3. those who are "dreaming" and will ignore all the possible pitfalls and just agree with most points people make in thses forums.
Depends which category you fall into!
If you fall into category 1 id say Yes! as there is less pressure on you to pay back huge loans and find a job when qualified.
If you fall into category 2, id say NO! for definate (ie, how can you be so sure you will actually find employment when you have a licence, after taking out large loans, re-mortgaged a house sold up etc) one hell of a commitment! and very risky.
Category 3. dont bother! you are aboviously dis-illusioned! they should become professional forum posters instead!
hope this helps!
