Ryzu,
Thank you for your post, however I am a little confused as to how you can enter the profession without buying your way in.
If u give up your liberty and join the forces, that is the obvious route, however if you know of any other routes to pursue which don’t involve a large commitment of time and money, (and in my case relocation), to chase a dream, that may or may not bear any fruit in respect of employment then please direct me to the genie in the lamp.
I am just intrigued why people opt for training in the UK, and it seems that the prime reason is unavoidable commitments.
