Should I ... or ... Shouldnt I ???

[jamielatham]

Hi;

If i was to say to you that I have a Guaranteed £34,000 when i am 18, do you think i should go for flight training in America, this has always been my lifetime ambition...If i was going to go i would do the course at Naples Air Center, the Carrer Pilot Course (FAA and JAA) or similar!

So, the question is if i have got 95% of the money without selling a house or car etc... should i go for it and hope for a job at the end of it?


Thanks

Jay

i'd say go for it. unless you can think of anything better to do??

Just remember to factor in the thousands of quid / dollars living expenses etc!

I would also urge you to go for it!

Have to agree with playtime, one of the wisest men I know. That's amount should just about see you through. 18 is quite young though and I would consider Uni or similar seriously as you have the rest of your life to be a pilot. It might be sensible to have another feather in your cap come huge oil price increases and job layoffs.
I know what I would have done in your shoes but my sensible hat says think about it. Be sure it's what you want!

jamie,
agree to playmetarrich

If u dont have to worry too much about the money and u really want it then GO 4 IT!!
BUT :think about it!!!might be better to get some sensible job first (not meaning that beeing a pilot is unsensible)
mean it just 4 security 4 yourself if something goes wrong.

Guys,have to give all 3 of you who responded to jamie all my respect cuz I
thought u might tear him apart cuz of his question.there is a similar site here in
Ger(mini) where people and wannnnnabe pilots are very rude to rookys.
RESPECT,knew that I got right lic and right website

All the best jamie
