What if I fail during training?
What if I make it through training and there are no jobs?
What if I make it through training, there are jobs but they're not offering the best, ahem, terms and conditions?
1 doesn't seem such an issue as most places now offer some sort of risk mitigation factor whereby a large chunk of the financial capital is recovered through some bespoke insurance scheme.
2 and 3 are the crux of the problem. If someone is capable then I see no reason why he or she shouldn't be entitled to try and break into the industry regardless of age. The issue is that if you gamble whilst young, WITHOUT a written guaranteed job offer, then what on earth are you going to do in the event of scenario 2 and 3?
When do you think there has ever been a written
guaranteed job offer?
