I agree with UConnQB14. Keep your day job and pay for the flying unless you've got some other financial resources to draw on, namely a benefactor or someone along those lines. Try to position yourself where what ever decisions you make, you are able to maximize the resources that become available as a result of making that decision.
Whatever you do, don't wait like I did
. I'm 44 and just starting out. However, I'm not looking to become Senior Chief Pilot of Airline ABC. Give me a CRJ-200/700/900 with the possibility of getting on with FedEx (A-300's or 310's) later on down the road, and I'm alright. Everything is ok. Even if I don't get on with FedEx or some equivalent, I will have enjoyed the journey and the RIDE.
Best wishes and much success!!!
