A bit harsh on the schoolteacher side... certainly some think that way, but others can see the value of our expertise if it is explained properly, just as other clients do.

personally, I agree that the cost in dollars and time to help somebody through a professional year is too much for no guarantee of benefit during or after that period is a problem...

...that might be considered by politicians sometime long after its too late.

I can feel for you Martin, but I can't even understand why you want to join this industry with the regulatory and cost issues we currently suffer.
