Smarcol,
The majority of us on the Wannabes forum are not "already in a position" - otherwise we wouldn't be on the Wannabes forum. We are either researching or in the process of training, or else looking for a job.
However, the vast majority of us have done enough research to understand the risks involved. And when we find ourselves being rejected time after time, we don't (or won't, for those of us for whom this is in the future) complain about the fact that we're in a situation which was entirely predictable, and which we decided was a fair price to pay given our personal circumstances. Instead, we will persevere, knowing that those who want it the most, and who persevere the most, will get it eventually, even though it won't be an easy road.
Those of us who have put this much thought into the process have very little sympathy for others who, apparently, have in the order of £30-£60K to spend without feeling it necessary to do any prior research, or who have chosen to ignore the results of their research and then seem surprised by what they find at the end of the road.
FFF
