I don't mean to throw a spanner in the works, but what if you don't get the approach course, if area definitely isn't for you?
When I said it definetly wasn't for me, I was speaking in comparison to aerodrome/approach. Whatever discipline I do I'm sure I will enjoy it, but comparing each one, area would probably be my least favourite from what I've seen.
With ten people applying for five places I'm not going to get my hopes up so whatever I get I'll take it on the chin (one of them anyway).
