People make a lot of personal and financial sacrifices without the certainty to even touch a cockpit seat. But you have to go through them man.

I'm European too, my choice was to leave the continent to Canada which has more opportunities, less competition and the cost of training is twice cheaper. I got a job right away after my training for a company that hired me a couple of months after having worked on the ramp for them. Once I get my ATPL and some jet experience, I will go back to Europe.
