Errr, that's you agreeing with what he said.....
As has been said already, many of the young men and women who have been so abruptly short-changed on their dreams will be very high quality candidates for a myriad of other careers.

Again, to repeat others, look forwards not back...and don't dwell too long on the rights or wrongs of the process, get on with the rest of your life. Good Luck.
