Chris,
Not once did I say it was wrong to pursue other options. I was making a point based on your obvious lack of research. If you don't take my advice, take everyone elses and read the thread aimed at people like you.
One would have thought that in 12 years of dreaming you would have been able to get serious and find out what was required and how to become qualified. Obviously not.
Lucky no one has started on your spelling.
Why do we bother?
