ChickenTikka, I dont think WWW is doing anything wrong in his warnings to wannabees, not that he needs anyone to defend him Im sure he's big and ugly enough to do that himself (no offence
).
However you just have to read some posts in this thread and others to see that the message just aint getting through to some, this "dream" seems to knock out some of their common sense! I replied to one the other day who was talking about "yeah, there maybe some job losses in the industry now, but in about 12 to 18 months, they should all be over and things on the up etc etc etc ...."
Bloody hell, what does it take to get through to people like this. Even if things are "on the up" (which is highly highly unlikely), he seemed to assume, okeydokey then, job losses over, thus me with my 200 hrs must be in with a shout.........that just isn't reality, and he's not the only one.
So if anyone's words on here can make these people at least stop, pause, and THINK, then surely it's appropriate. And the message obviously hasn't got through so far to some, so it may need spelling out in harsh, blatant terms.
