Wanna be like you

[Windy Militant]

Hello All, I've been thinking of a change work for a while now and thought that as I've always loved aircraft and flying I might earn my living around like minded people. Having spent the last few years working for a bunch of applied accountants and wannabe programme managers all aiming for the "tent-th floor" * working down to standards that would make "Handy Andy" from changing rooms blush, I thought I'd try to join the happy band of the Bin flying wrench benda tribe*. The problem is how the hell to get a license I can't afford to front up the money to pay my way through an approved course as on the money I'm on now I can just about feed myself. Is there an equivalent to the self improver route as was. Can any body offer me some advice, apart form don't bother. All sensible replies gratefully received.

Be warned it's a long road.

Thanks Spannersatcx, my last attempt at this a few years ago was a bit disheartening as of all the companies I approached only British Midland had the decency to acknowledge my letter and they apologetically turned me down.
