You will both get a clearer picture of reality as well as set the all important foundation for a possible career. Network, network, network.
@whoknows good advice it's just I don't know anyone in the industry and like any industry if you are on the outside its quite difficult to break into those circles even socially.

I just feel I can't rely wholly on the information from the school alone since its in their interest to sell it to me and I am afraid they are overstating my prospects on completion of the HCPL and not spelling out the reality to me. It's all a lot of generalizations I feel
