longrass in a sense i agree with you. but the thing is, at the end of the day, the poor newbie CPL is going to have to up and move to another state/territory and there is still the chance, that once they get to their new base, spend heaps of cash to get themselves and their gear up here, flunk the S&P and get told that they arn't right for that company and their still in the same boat as they would be if they just moved up here in the first place. At least if they make the effort to move up here first, get themselves a part time job stacking shelves or serving in a bar to make ends meet, go and chew the fat and build up a good reputation and then score that first job.
