Geek - not showing off at all.
i) I've got no information on salaries,
ii) the deal will no doubt be caveated that no job is guaranteed and therefore a bank won't lend me additional funds.
iii) Only other option is extending mortgage, but again they need to know future earnings, and because it's been so badly organised I don't know this f cking vital information, and can hardly refer the bank to pprune rumour mill.
This only leaves me with the career development loan which is relatively straightforward. Hence, genuinely interested how other people have secured funding in principle?
