In every proffesional career a graduate starts on the shop floor,be it the A&E dept for a new Doctor or Northern Ireland for a new Officer.
It's a great grounding and builds the candidate up,slowly and maturely.
Ask yourself wether you would pick yourself,a new boy/girl lets be honestover someone with even a bit of previous experience?
Anyway good luck,i'm off to start my third year in instructing before i grace someones door,asking for a job on the board earning a shed load of cash(ooops meant to say right hand seat in multi million dollar jet)
