Kash! Don't even think about going back home! Try SA first! Spend some time and money doing an FI rating. Schools are crying out for Gr3 FI's! As for cost, you can expect to pay between R30k and R40k.
I'm with a school now and they're guaranteeing subsequent employment!
Maybe not what you want to do and maybe a bit steep, but well worth it!
If you do it at Rand airport (FAGM), the beer's on me!
