You might want to think twice about getting a job, the workoad can be quite high especially around oral board time and I think it is also important to have some rest time inbetween college days. I would not have wanted to go to work in the middle of summatives!

i dont want to but a dampener on things but failure IS an option and a very real one. Before I got to college I thought that it would be fairly straight forward to get through and I took a big pay cut and borrowed money so that I could go. When we all got there we soon realised that the chop rate is a lot higher than HR tell you during recruitment. I got all the way to unit training and failed. Now I have massive debts and have used up a couple of years potential income. I had a great experience along the way and don't really regret applying (I would have regretted NOT applying a lot more) but you must think of all outcomes.
