Aeronautical engineer...

Just want to point out something about the loans, which i am looking into atm to fund my training.
Your job/degree affects how much loan you can take out. Even though the loans available are a straight equity exchange on your parents home, if you dont have a high earning potential or your parents dont have enough disposable income to pay the loan payments you may be refused on the loan or be offered a lower amount to what you requested.

So i would bare that in mind when you look towards a secondary career.

aero engineer
 

Same as above poster ak224, full time job as engineer.

Good money which lets me fly regularly and keep current, good holiday allowance and also flexitime which means plenty time off for studying/brush ups and exams, working towards gaining chartership in the next few years so I have a solid career to fall back on should I ever lose my Class 1, also saving hard so unlikely to ever need to get into much debt through loans (perhaps CDL though if needed)

You'll find quite a few pilots have other forms of income other than the pilot salary. A number of pilots in my airline (F/Os and Captns) have fingers in other pies.

Often, those who have had previous careers can keep their hand in, and others go on to start other businesses.

For one thing it assists in the relatively low salary that pilots now take home, keeps up the standard of living, and second, it is always good to have another career if the airline you are in ceases to be.

Thought I haven't started flying yet, I'm currently a teacher in Korea. I've got great benefits and I love working with kids. If the flying thing doesnt work out later, I've always got a job here to fall back on
