What's Your Dream Job?

This should go in epic fail really, but a family friend wanted nothing other than to be a pilot. To his credit, he stuck with it and became fully qualified at about 27 or 28. Took about 7 years, and a horrendous amount of money.

Not long after finishing training, he was taken very ill and hospitalised. He's got a serious heart condition which had remained undiagnosed until he collapsed - result, he can no longer fly on health grounds. He still owes £30,000+ for his training. Dreadful luck and timing.

Ouch. Would be bad enough losing your dream and your career without £30k of debt on top.
