When I had to choose between University and a Pilot Academy I chose Uni, and to this day I deeply regret it. I believe I made the wrong choice, as I believe I would have been much happier as a pilot than as a professional in the field that I chose. I am now considerably older (24 years of age) and, even though I do not have any debt from my studies, I also do not have enough income to save money at this time.
Some mornings I wake up and I just say "fuck it, I'll just find a well-paying service job in a Nordic country, share an apartment, and save money for four or five years until I can fully afford flight school back in my home country (where it is considerably cheaper)", but then reality hits and the fact is I am not getting any younger, there are no guarantees that I'll be able to save enough, and perhaps that train has departed.
As a soon-to-be pilot, although considerably younger than me, do you think that it is too late for me? Perhaps I should focus on something like recreation flying and working as something else, or am I still in time?
