Yeh it is very sad.... cadetships are good in a way but are a bit unfair to those who 'go bush' I only have my GFPT and dont know where to go from here... a cadetship or instructing? i know that i cant afford $154,000 and a bank isn't going to give a personal loan like that ! its really unfair how the rich kids get this and get a fast track to the top while the rest are trying so hard...
