Fair enough!
Your decision is personal and whilst others opinions can count a bit, its ultimately up to you and what you want out of life.

I would apply and contact them.
Let them know they have already spoken to you which they probably remember anyway, but that you've also sent an application through again.
You cover all bases there....

I would assume you'd have to gain some sort of practical experience before becoming fully qualified?

Especially take note of fees and charges and interest rates, and how quick you have to pay back the money before getting slugged with extra fees.

It happens in every field. BUt if you prove yourself valuable enough to a company, they are less likely to let you go.

Contract work can be profitable, but what do you do in times of a dry period?

There are not many circumstances where I would not recommend studying.

Even if you do it part time, it would be fantastic to have that on your resume :)
