So, how would you save me money? Why are you better than the two guys with 10000 hours a piece, that I fired last month? (apart from the fact I'm only going to pay you half the going rate).
Methinks you are too generous offering to pay half the going rate...chchflyboy is following his dream (didn't we all once) so why pay him at all?
(then build my hours and piss off to emirates) -and I'm better because- well, you fired them didn't you? Put me in a cockpit and you'll see how I'm better. 
Wiggy- Still have debt to pay, still need to live. Can I ask ya- if you think flying is a 'job'.. then why don't you find something that is your dream? And do it.
You only live once mate, I see flying for a career.. more of a lifestyle that I want to be a part of; rather than a job, thats a part of my lifestyle.
And yeah at this stage it's a dream I am pursuing, hopefully I don't end up in your shoes- cause damn thats a waste of 65k
I said 'half the going rate'. The going rate is £0, I am willing to pay half that.
I'm a charitable soul.

chchflyboy - a touch naive.
Flying is a job, trust me I have been doing it some time. I defy anyone to argue that single point.
I always wanted to race in formula one or play in the premiership but I am not good enough - therefore I sit in a aeroplane most days.
It is a compromise - like life.

raoul80 - good to have your input! Just joking...
eagerbeaver1 is correct, it doesn't mean that you stop enjoying going to work or getting a kick out of what we do, but other things become important, this industry has lots of options...
eagerbeaver1 I even tried the racing thing, Formula Vauxhall - I WAS shi*e!

i'm not saying its not serious, and challenging.. i guess it depends on how you view the word 'job', or 'work'. I just don't want to stand for 2nd best option given the circumstances. anybody can do anything they want- so why on earth wouldnt you do it. I race cars too- rally in an evo 3. I play basketball for a regional team. But I dont want to be the next Peter Solberg or Lebron James- I want to fly planes 
I guess im an optimistic-extreme haha
well anyway I have a long way to go before i'm in your shoes so better get back to circut training
