Thanks guys, the mining work is hardly a passion of mine, and isn't exactly sustainable for a lifelong career, I work 14, long days on and then get 7 off. Perfect for earning money while I do my training. Like I said I probably should be asking this question after I finish my CPL, and really decide I want to commit to this as a career or a hobby.
I just seem to spend so much time on this forum and wanted some feedback if what I am planning would be a good thing to do or not.
And I guess from reading these forums any young people out there who are looking to do a non aviation related degree, get an engineering degree, it's alot of work but im now working in my 3rd country since graduating 4 years ago. Pay is good
I actually do have a few contacts with the mining regions a lot of companies fly king airs for the crews in and out. But flying commercially is what I've always wanted to do. So if things work out its something im going to pursue!
Cheers everyone!
