Career change to pilot - advice sought
Hello,
Not sure if I am posting in the right part of the forum (please move my thread accordingly if not).
I'm 24, have a Bachelor of Science and have been in a full time office job in Perth for 3 three years now. For the first time in my life I have the financial means to pursue a commercial pilots licence.
I'm just looking for some advice on what people think would happen if I pursued my CPL part time whilst continuing to work. What would happen when I finished at age 29? would it be hard to find work?
My goal is to be an airline pilot, however I'm more than happy to spend the years working towards that. If I were prepared to re-locate anywhere and fly whatever was on offer (at whatever rate), would I likely be able to find work?
I don't know anyone in the industry or any pilots so I'm really not sure what happens after someone gets their CPL. Is there a risk of expending the time and money and then there are just no opportunities whatsoever?
I'm sure many people ask this question but any advice much appreciated.
Cheers.
