This forum is a great resource. There are flying jobs with a great work life balance, but the reality is the first flying job is usually whatever you can get, if you can get one at all. If you're are lucky enough to get offered a decent job, it'll almost certainly involve moving away, probably to a country you won't really want to live in for the first three or four years until you can get a UK base.
Do plenty of research. The first money you should spend is on a trial lesson or two and a class one medical. Decide what you want to do - there is a big difference between aeroplanes and helicopters. At the moment there are more jobs than ever fixed-wing, and hardly any rotary. And Helicopter training is twice the price.
