Congratulations to him. I can't quite understand the reasoning behind many people on this board that the money to pay for training should be earned solely through hard graft. I completely agree that working for the money tends to make you a much more mature and well-rounded individual, but that's just one side of the coin.
This shouldn't be the be-all and end-all when considering the situation. How many people who did work like crazy to pay their own way through their training would opt to do it over again, had the money been available from (for example) an inheritance? Not that many, I guess.
What about the massive bank loans most people in training have hanging over their heads, regardless of whether they got the first chunk of money through hard graft or parental help? If that's not a motivation to do well, I can't really think what is.
Just my 2p, but I think there can be way too much of a holier than thou attitude on here. Let this guy enjoy his success - the very fact he's succeeded proves he's earned it.
