Well done chap, a jolly large pat on the back..!

Having read through your further post, I am able to appreciate what you were trying to get across. However, I find your explanation of naivety rather nauseating, rather, I would attribute your situation to both good fortune and yes, most probably, extremely hard work.

I was not inferring your suggestion of the integrated approach to be incorrect, merely the fact that you failed to outline potential pitfalls in your proposition, in fact, I agree with what you protest - to a point. Although things may have progressed rather smoothly for you, there are those who are a great deal less fortunate, experiencing severe financial loss as a result of the integrated route. Of course, I would be foolish if I failed to acknowledge the fact there are just as many failures produced via the modular approach. My argument is not which approach is best. I merely take umbrage with the fact that you suggest this young chap proceed down the integrated route without highlighting possible ramifications. Surely, you are able to identify potential financial issues associated with today’s economic climate.

Feel free to disagree, I happily reiterate, your post demon straights naivety at its very best…! Not you, or indeed your approach, I merely [apology for use of word merely again, I like that word..!] consider you post naïve!

Yes, I too am a wannabe, I consider myself more fortunate then some, yet less then others. I certainly do not believe I am of greater or lesser importance than anyone else, as a result of only being a ‘Wannabe’. I have acquired financial stability through several years working offshore; due to good fortune I was able to establish a successful IT Consultancy Company during the early stages of the IT boom. Such good fortune has provided me with the means to pursue further activities and qualifications. I am now a qualified Psychologist as well as a Secondary School Teacher…I know, the explanation for children’s poor performance!! I soon hope to add qualified commercial pilot to that list. Although there have been risks associated with most of my adventures, I have always carefully calculated the outcome. Too many people jump into the deep end, without having the ability to swim!!!

Best of luck!
