An excellent bit of writing Centaurus, perhaps something all of us wannabes should read.
I almost feel like saying to myself "snap out of it, he's right, you've got no hope" but I can't because this is what I want.
I really can't think of that many other professions where you can put in so much time and effort and money for potentially no reward. As I near the end of a 3 year uni course, these events of the last fortnight couldn't have come at a worse time for me and others in my situation.
What can I do? I know for sure I won't be picking up an IT home study kit or enrolling in an Economics degree. I guess I'll just keep plugging away, hoping my time will come.
Cheers,
