Think positive
Pugwash,
if my car exhaust falls off mate, I have to replace it, if the cupboards are empty at home, I have to fill them,I understand your issues, invest in yourself, look as the 50% funding is a bonus,when you keep your job, get more pay, the investment in your part 2 will be worth it, don't go down the road of not doing this course, sell your car,( you can get another) car boot, please just do it, you deserve it , if you've got a family you've got commitments, responsibilities, also to yourself, in fact do your part 2 and put in for your advanced straight away ,your holding yourself back pal, be the man you know scaffs are,
JUST DO IT!!!
let me know when you've done the course, you can go offshore ,large projects etc , think big loads a money £££££££££££
all the best,
Ray
