GRK,
Integrated students stand a far better chance than modular students. I dont wanna start this debate again because it always causes war
. I personally know alot of people who are now employed through recommendation and there are also a few who havnt been recommended. But thats because they didnt get the grade required to get recommended.
If you cant afford integrated then dont slate it off! it is the best chance you'll have in getting a job but not the cheapest route. But then again, its not the license we are after it is the job. If you want just a license then you can pick one up for less than £25k in USA.
Modular students do get employment but that is through alot of stress and their own efforts, same with integrated students but those that do not make the recommendation grade.
I hope iv made it clear
