So Clear prop cut to the chase.... would you pay for an integrated course right now?.... or do a full time modular course which will put you on the market in 18 months? Or would you sit on your hands and wait a year or so?
You seem to spend most of your time criticising other folks but have to date added very little to the acutal debate and question at hand yourself.
This thread just seems to get your back up all the time.... maybe just don't read it?? Or maybe tell us a little bit about what angle you are viewing the industry from and why so optimistic?? How does a TP operator wanting someone with instructor rating with 1000+ hours (when there are now very few FI jobs around) help a wanabee fresh out of training? Please do share your wisdom...
As has been mentioned before you would be "VERY" surprised at the contacts/experience some posters on this board have...not all are junior bankers and young wanabees.
(P.S. you seem to have it in for economists... have they done you some huge dis-service in the past?? I am not one by the way...)
