fair point, but what about the accommodation, flights there and back and most importantly - as a modular guy you can work and hour build at the same time, meaning you don't loose income. If you go state-side for a while, you either loose all your holiday leave (that will be fundamentally necessary later on in the training) or you loose income. Fair enough, if you have parents that can cover your arse, well done, most of the modular students don't have that pleasure and staying with one foot in a paid job is a priority
