[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1538568, member: 410240"] It is wise investing more than £100K training for a job that you will not be able to do if your diabetic control every gets worse? Remember that unlike a normal student loan, the cost of the training has to be repaid even if you are not earning any money, hence they like to have parents with expensive houses sing the loan agreement. Also, the job of a pilot is worldwide, so it may be harder getting jobs if an employer can’t use you on some flights due to regulations being different at the destination and regulations can and will change over the next 40 years. Remember that the first job as a pilot is the hardest to get and having anything that may put an employer off is not a good option. Someone that is already an experienced pilot when they get T1 has more reasons why they should be given a job. [/QUOTE]
