Thank you so much for the quick, detailed and to-the-point reply.
I really appreciate your time explaining every single part of my concern.
As you said, you should take others opinions about your own plans -especially when coming from individuals that applied on the course and didn't make it through, with a pinch of salt.
As you might recall yourself, before making such a big investment as this, you become easily concerned from anything you hear which indicate that the path you are choosing might not be the right one for you. Because our choices must reflect our career aspirations.
You covered me perfectly.
Thanks a lot again mate and good luck with your course!
