Is it worth it?

Not a rhetorical question, I am genuinely interested in what people think.

Is the cost of an integrated course or the modular course worth it when trying to get a career in the industry? For someone without any responsibilities I could see it however what about for someone (however motivated and committed to pass the exams and training) with house, mortgage, wife plus x +2 kids etc?

Does anyone know approximately how many people with licenses but very low hours are actually job hunting - I know a definitive answer cannot be given but maybe a guess .....

Perhaps some self sponsored people could provide their experiences, either successful or not. Is the industry picking up, is the seven year cycle turning upswing or will it do so in the next few years (2008) if we assume post 9/11 was an unnatural (time wise) low point.

Cheers all, and good luck for those job hunting!
