As this stage in the game you do t know yet how much you'll like it.
You 'think' you like it and you 'think' this is something you could do for a living.
Consider that in NW Europe even a single lesson is almost an all day affair. It was with me anyway.
Don't expect to be able to fit in lessons in beteeen work assignments as it doesn't work that way.
Travel time to the airfield, get there early, pre flight and post flight briefings, waiting for weather to clear etc etc etc.
Try and book two lessons in a day off.
Basically start dedicating all your free time to it. Start volunteering at a flying club.
Basically get yourself acquainted with the training world.
Alternatively consider doing a full time PPL course in 4 weeks in Florida or South Africa this upcoming winter.
