Tough choice

[MalteseFalcon1]

Hi all,
I am 31yrs old and looking at flying for a career, hopefully corporate. I'm having a hard time deciding between the following;
Heading off to the U.S and study full time possibly at PEA, JET University or Epic.
Staying in AUS and completing a diploma course possibly Australian Wings Academy, ANAC or GFS. I've emailed a few places, and the best replies were from JET U and AWA.

From Jet U;
The price for the new part 141 based on 156 hrs –( Pvt./IFR/CPL/M/E ) is $38,000

From AWA;
Basic Diploma Fee AUD$64,756
Fuel Surcharge due to high oil prices AUD$ 2,230
Garmin 1000 glass cockpit option for advanced training AUD$ 4,470
ATPL frozen (optional) AUD$3,900

Obviously, I'd have to add housing/living expenses to the above
If anyone has advice for me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

My 2 cents.

Unless you are lined up for that corporate job straight out of flight school, (unless Dad owns the company, never seen that before), think hard about fancy diplomas and part 141 licences. Go out and test the water at the local flying school. In this way you may get a feel for the realities of the industry.
