When you are coming out of training, bad habits are not a factor. In 200 hours, habits are easily written off. In 2000 not so much, in 20000 never.
Keep your hopes up. You may not be going through the Etihad (and whatever else way) but if you stick to it, you will make it. Bear in mind that times are bad so you not making it is not related to your performance so much . It is just that hardly anybody needs anyone... It might take months, years but I promise you, the light is there, at the end of the tunnel... Only for the people most suited to it. Been there, done that, got the T-Shirt. Unfortunately it is now you turn but stick to it... It is well worth it.
Parents, friends might not really understand it, yet the day you will succeed all will be fogotten (for them). you ? You will know better and enjoy it even more.
Please ! Please don't give up !
