I understood it first time.
Youre statement is most definitely true for the average guy who thought their dream was never gonna become reality cos of the horrible way training has gone. In that case you apply and give it your all like your life depends on it.
But, for the extremely lucky few who aren't financially restricted, there certainly are other options.
Thats my case in a nutshell.
Btw: i never went for an argument, it just frustrates me when you get ppl on here who cant understand that different aspects of a scheme weigh differently with each person. Whats unimportant to some may be important to others.
