Hi
I realize that the answer to my question is largely going to involve my personal choice, but I wanted to seek some advice from those who have been around.
I am 32, with my ASEL and am working on my instrument/commercial -- currently have 112 hours. I just got laid off from a technical job and am looking for another. My question is this: Wanting to make aviation a career, would it be wise for me to take this time off I have and see about getting loans to progess in my training as fast as possible? -- i.e. -- do you know of any loans/ grants that are in place for this? Of course I realize that I will need the hours as well as the training to make a career, but I was curious as to if the loan/ school idea would be faster and make more sense than taking the CFI route.
I know this is kind of a general and very subjective question, and there is no easy answer, but any input is welcome.
Also -- I have a big interest in rotary wing -- but its mucho $ -- any ideas here?
Thanks
Shaun
