A lot of your success will be a direct result of how much of your personal
life you're willing to give up. Certainly the easiest way to get the
necessary hours is to go the CFI route but it's not the only way. It will
not be easy and it will not be cheap and when you've got several thousand
hours, you're still not going to get rich, but you will have one of the
best
jobs in the world.

Thanks for your feedback.

I realise that's pretty much the crux of my decision. How much do I want to
give up. However, I'm not married, no kids. I have the equity in the house
to pay for it and the desire to leave my engineering career behind. The
only thing left is do I have the desire to leave the comfortable life my
current career provides behind, and I'm not sure I know the answer to that.
I guess it all comes down to will I be able to make a reasonable living out
of it someday?...
