I have a private doctor who has done many of the basic tets also done in the class one.
Thankfully I don't have any vision problems either. The glasses are only worn when I'm staring at artifical light for too long ( Repetitive strain injury- Basically when I've been staring at a laptop all day and I get lazy).
The problem is I will only do the funded training as I don't want to put myself into another student loan debt.
it's great to have something to fall back on but when you have zero to no interest in it, its hard to want to go back to it.
The question is, is it better to be short of cash and love what youre doing or make 3x the salary you are and be miserable.
Just to add a slight reality check. You won’t be in a student loan situation, you’ve got three options.
- Get on a funded scheme. Yay.
- Pay the £100K yourself
- Get Mummy and Daddy to remortgage the house to loan you £100K
If you don’t have the cash, the Modular route as suggested earlier is the best option. It’s cheaper and you go at the speed if cash so you can still work as you study. To be honest even if you have the cash Modular is the best way to go. If you can live on beans and rice in Saudi you’ll have it banked in 18 months, that’s an incredible opportunity you’ve given yourself.
