Are you mad Sir?

So, off I went to HSBC to sort out a bit of dosh for the ATPL. All is going well and we get to the question:

So, what will be your earning potential upon qualification Mr xxxx?

So, I tell her £25-£40k, being the ever optimist I am!!!!

Puzzled, she looks at me and asks, "why do you want to get yourself into £35,000 worth of debt to earn a salary £20,000 lower than you are now?"

I suppose she has a point right, and I haven't even told her i'll probably need another £20k for more training!!

What a weird and wonderful industry this is. I sometimes find myself asking whether I am slightly mad!! How do you explain your passion without sounding like a complete and utter sado....

Well then!! Did she give you the cash then so you can get cracking ???

Your experience Just demonstrates the well known fact that bank managers have no souls!

It also gives a pretty good indication why they all have so much money!!

"why do you want to get yourself into £35,000 worth of debt to earn a salary £20,000 lower than you are now?"

A pretty fair question. What was your answer?
