No, you bought your licence. How many people you went through training with failed and were sent home to think again?
You can't just buy a license, you still have to perform to standards, and prove you posses the required level of knowledge. Plus you also have to work for that money to pay for (not the license) but the training required to pass the tests to get that license,...and I actually did fail my commercial checkride, and had to get more training in order to live up to the required standards.
,...as opposed to being the "chosen one" who then gets his training for free plus a job waiting for him when its over.
