Well, well, well. What a lovely bunch of informed and well educated responses this thread has elicited. As normal.
I find it absolutely astounding how in virtually every single one of these threads, theres at least one moron who implies all integrated students are stupid, believe 'the hype' and are busy spending mummy and daddys money. Yet, ironically in so doing fail to realise how very stupid they make themselves look.
I love the way that it always ends up assuming the very worst scenario out of integrated and assess the best possible scenario out of modular. I love the way that former mod students try and and convince themselves/others/the world at large that the cost differential is one hundred billion pounds.
However, that said there is actually some good advice here for guys like Afraz. Right now, in this particular market, modular is probably a better option - purely because you can time when you exit training a bit better. Unfortunately, people like Afraz are those that are held up by the aformentioned twats who like to lump all int. students together.
Two last points. First....there is as much truth in this lumping together of int. students that most of the contributors to this thread seem to believe as there is to say all mod students are too stupid to get onto an int course and are just jealous. Consider that next time you want to make a twatty comment about all int students being the same.
Second....the ongoing comments about Ryanair....how about some food for thought....If Ryanair are hiring integrated students when they historically didn't (which they are now - and taking a larger and larger %age if you listen to the FYR recruitment team), then they're not hiring modular for those positions....given how much reliance the mod community have placed on FYR in the past, things just got even harder. But that's ok, because you can all go away with your absolutely cast iron assertion (because you're so much more intelligent than those stupid integrated idiots) that you've paid £2000000k less for the same licence and that you'll have exactly the same chance. Or will you.
I wish all students, of whatever training method the best of luck, because whatever route you choose, it's not easy and it's certainly not cheap either way. And you'll all certainly need it, if the comments on this thread by certain posters are what you can look forward to.
