don't blame the kids seizing the "cadet" opportunity, blame the people who created it!
buying a cadetship is no different from buying an endorsement
the people who whinge about either "opportunity" are rarely unaffected people speaking out against injustice - most of them either got knocked back themselves, can't afford it or are presently unaffected but don't want to pay in the future
both forms of "opportunity" are just accountants' tactics for transferring training costs off the corporate balance sheet onto the employees, effectively creating false profits
but here's my question for management types: what benefit, other than nepotism, does a cadet scheme bring, given that it's primary characteristic is avoiding minimum experience requirements?
