If you think being paid £18k with a guaranteed job offer at the end of training is bad, take a look at becoming a pilot.
Well said. I made it work well into my 30’s and am glad I did. In the UK you can get payment per week to help towards your housing costs. I can’t remember the amount sorry and it wasn’t much but certainly helps.
Sounds to me though this guy perhaps should stick to working in Australia!
