The main problem as I see it for you if you do not have legal right to work in either Europe/UK, or the United States. So unless you marry somebody who is a citizen of that country, then I don't know what you'll do.
You want to know if age 25 is a good age to DREAM of becoming a pilot?
No age 10 thru 15 is a good age to dream, from then on you have to start coming up with a plan. I would say age 17 or 18 is the right time to start making it happen.
I'm glad to see that you have money saved and have no commitments. But another problem for you is the exchange rates. The United States Dollar is very over valued, and the British schools are very over priced.
There are basically very few jobs that pay anything for people with just 250 hours. Without the right to even flight instruct in the US. I would think that South American missionary work may be your best opportunity. But don't expect it to pay much if anything.
I'm sorry that there is little commercial aviation in Argentina. But that's what populist socialism gets you. Shared misery.
But I never want to leave a conversation without offering some assistance.
Look into going to Barteloni School in Lodz Poland.
I understand you can get a European Frozen Air Line Pilots License for about Euros 60,000
From there you can try to work in the Middle East or Africa.
Or just stay in Argentina and dream of another job.
Thanks for your message. Being a FO at age 25 is awesome. When did you start? And how many hours did you have when you got that job?
Actually i can legally work and live in Europe as i do have double citizenship (Argentinian & Italian). Unluckily i don't have the same rights for USA.
As for Argentinian being a ****** up country and the other comments, it is and has pretty much always been, and always will be so i will leave this country for sure, becoming a pilot or not.
