l have just spent all afternoon reading this thread (I know A life woud be nice) I still can't get over how much ctc wan't to charge for the living costs $21000.
At the beginning I was sitting on the fence my oppinion was yes go for the cadetships if you don't somone else will, but having read various posts especially those of BreakfastBurrito I have come full circle and now come to the conclusion BEWARE all those contemplating this path.
I know this will fall on deaf ears but guys wake up and think long and hard about signing on the dotted line. It's a bit like getting the name of your girlfriend tattoed on your chest it might seem like a good idea at the start but it will come back to bite you on the arse latter on.
