I'm 28, 6500TT and wannabe a lawyer, broker, estate agent, train driver, corner shop owner or anything else that pays better than this industry!
Salaries, benefits, terms and conditions are all steadily being eroded and it ain't going to get any better. Particularly in the UK where supply by far outweighs demand.

To EX-FTE
That maxim is so bloody right and goes for every Wannabe, if a little easier said than done!
Mind you, I could do with that family inheritance to help me a long a bit (not that I'm wishing anybody early departures. Perhaps a Lottery win instead!).
Anyway, just in the process of changing job to marketing for a small regional airline - getting in the right direction at least! Perhaps avenues will open up this way - who knows?! However, in the meantime you can guarantee that I'll be trying for every bloody sponsorship opportunity in the world, as with everyone else!
Good luck in whatever you're endeavouring to do!

Since this has become a forum for mini-CVs, here goes...
27 years old, JAR PPL/IMC 100hrs TT
ATPL Nav exams next week.
MA and MEng degrees from Cambridge University.
Five boring years in IT, currently a freelance contractor salting away my (luckily) high earnings for the CPL/IR course. Busy proving that money does not buy happiness. Lived in Hong Kong, UK, Netherlands and South Africa.
It's ATPL or bust and to hell with everything else. I will go mad if I don't get there.
