[QUOTE="cpmal, post: 57406, member: 10158"] Hi Dan, Thanks for your quick and detailed response, I really appreciate it! Yes, I did tend to have the same opinion as you but my uni careers advisor's staunch opposition to self-funding has made me re-think! It's good to get different opinions on things, however, so I'll definitely take your advice on board. If you don't mind there is one caveat I would like to add. Namely, if I do continue with the course, because I joined about a week/10 days after the start date and its general level of intensity, I am quite far behind already (only doing the pre-course prep atm). I think I could [I]probably [/I]catch up and be at the same level if I went hell-for-leather in about 4 weeks time but that would probably come at the expense of general enjoyment/applications/potentially getting involved in extra-curricular pro-bono activities....I suppose its a personal question about how much I'm willing to throw into it but would you think it's a viable plan or would that change your opinion at all? Thanks once again, Conor [/QUOTE]
