Thanks for the advice, regarding growing up and working hard... im 23 years old with 3years armoured infantry service and years of labouring/scaffolding so im not stranger to hard work, i figured I dont want to have a buggered back when im older, plus I want to travel and see the world so being a pilot really does seem like a dream job to me , regardless of the hard yards I have to put in at the start.
I am considering re-enlisting to the ADF for 4years in a combat job just to get some savings, would this be a good idea or should I pursue the CPL licence and try and start work in aviation straight away? I know the latter seems like the obvious choice but due to some family complications im in this situation.
