Infact, I think we should introduce these schemes in all professions! Brain surgeon cadet ship! Apply now, pay $150 grand but you're let loose on real patients after 5 months training on 22 grand a year for the next 7 years!
Actually a similar thing is happening in the medical profession. Previously uni placements were only available to those with a sufficiently high TER and passing the UMAT test. A number of placements were also made available for full fee paying overseas students, which resulted in complaints that little Jimmy couldn't pass the UMAT test or didn't do so well at school but still wanted to be a Doctor.
So the universities have since opened up placements for full fee paying local students who don't meet the TER/UMAT requirements. HECS isn't available for these slots, but pay $150 grand and... you get the picture.
