The Best Job in the World

Like anybody in my position, aviation has been something that has fascinated me from a very young age. After finishing high school, I ultimately knew where I wanted to end up but I wasn’t too sure on how I was going to get there. I had a tough time trying to decide between going to university first and getting a degree before coming back to flying later down the track - or just getting stuck in to flying from day dot. At that stage, I had my first full-time job working as a drain cleaner (a job that I am still very grateful of to this day) and I would save up enough money to go and get lessons at the local aeroclub any weekend I could afford it – I was completely hooked and knew that I just wanted to go flying.
