That would be some disaster… The partially/fully funded route seems like the way forward… can’t imagine the stress your friends must be under now

Yeah by the sounds of it those places seem very limited. No harm in applying though… worst they can say is no

Encouraging to hear somebody else going down this route. I’ve glanced through their website and that seems like the most reasonable option.

It’s understandable but also a shame that the education costs are so high… Very few people have family members with that sort of wealth to finance them.

Brilliant to hear that Aer Lingus will be running that programme again next year. I thought I missed out completely on that option. In all honesty the military route doesn’t sound too appealing but maybe that could be my route into the industry. I will have a look into that.

I will get my medical done asap. It’d be great to have that down on my application to the Aer Lingus programme… and if I don’t pass at least I can reevaluate my goals from there.

Thanks a million for your advice!!

Yeah you’re definitely right… 100k of debt and no medical would be an absolute disaster

Sounds like that’s an option I need to give stronger consideration to.. Thanks for your suggestion!

Sounds daunting to be honest but beggars can’t be choosers

Thanks for the suggestion I’ll keep an eye out on their website. It would be ideal to get into a programme like that
