Right, I'm currently a contract manager in a fit out / refurbishment company, i kinda like my job and it pays well but i set a goal to own my own company or be high flying in a position by the time i was 30, i'm currently 28.
Work is currently a ball ache, I'm working 12 hour days, get loads of stress and **** from ungrateful clients and the whole industry is on its arse and going nowhere quickly, i dont see my self moving up in the company (director or department head for 10+ years).
further, I have no idea or would take the risk currently to set up my own company given the current climate.
To the point - I've always wanted to be a pilot, I have the attributes to do the job and have been offered interviews to be put on a ATPL (Air Transport Pilot License) but will cost about £80k of my own money to train. I don't have that kinda money and it would mean taking out a massive loan against our house (as would be done to set up a business)
At the end i might not get a job, but have friends in the industry and always have my current career to fall back on.
What are peoples opinions? I'm currently in the "your only here once ****ing do it" and i have full support from my wife, however i'm terrified.
Oh.................and the 5 will never be sold it might just be scorn for a few years
