Fixed wing or rotary?
Well I always wanted to fly for a living, missed my chance of joining the military unfortunately but now have the possibility of funding myself through personal flight training thanks to many years of hard work behind a desk. 
I always wanted to fly helicopters, just seems like a bit more fun, but from reading the various forums and advice from all the people on these forums over the last few months it looks like my money would be better invested in fixed wing.
It seems all rotary jobs are contract only from what I can gather (other than instructor, police, rescue etc and they are few and far between) and you have to be willing to travel far and wide to get them (im based in the UK presently).
So my question is, rotary at double the cost or fixed wing?
Any advice appreciated (sorry for the double post but this comes under wannabe but I wanted input from the rotar head community too) - Soz
