Poeli - Good for you to have the autonomy to be able to think for yourself. If more people take your view, I think it will be great, because there will be one less to compete with in 2014!!!
WWW - I understand and agree with what you say regarding the black hole in market today, however you would have to agree the sensible way today would be to do modular route, and spend few years instructing, so at least you gain a sensible amount of experience, and when the upturn really does come you are not a the bottom of the pile!!!
There is no good to say wait until 2014, because by the time you get ready, the upturn will be back into a downturn again!
