    I was just wondering how any recruits in Templemore are finding the financial side of things? Would many recruits be in their late 20's or 30's and have mortgages/kids, ect? If so, how do ye manage to survive?

    I have a mortgage and am currently in a steady job earning about 32k a year but am considering taking the hit for a few years in order to get a better job with more long term prospects. I just don't know how I would manage living off that amount of money for 8 months.

    Yeah I suppose there must be a ban on discussing the job on social media and being newbies they are all observing it diligently!

    I have heard of people leaving higher paid jobs than mine to do it but it's a huge risk really.
