    Ok I am pretty much broke and I want to bite the bullet and take the leap, I'm going to have to borrow some money to get this going. How much money am I going to need to cover my fees and expenses while at the acadamy ? By the way I have next to no debt right now so so I just need to know how much the acadamy will cost. DMV permit etc...etc..

    Probably a REALLY good question to be answered by Swift BEFORE you go.

    Yeah I know what the recruiter said, I want to know from people that actually went through the course recently.

    Fair enough - though other people might have different ideas on economics.

    Just thought it would be a good idea to ask what the BARE MINIMUM is that you need for any required testing/accommodation, etc., given that you're in a tight spot now.
