    That is one of the issues I am most concerned about!!! Maybe I'll luck up and draw a good, experienced trainer. Too bad, though, that it takes luck to get one, know what I mean?

    That is the biggest draw back, not only the amount of experience the trainer has, but personalities some times conflict. That being said, I think you will be fine. And remember it's not always the amount of experience that makes a person good at what they do, it's also the interest they have in what they are doing. A person can have all the experience in the world, but if they have no interest in what they are doing it won't matter.

    My husband went thru swift's school here in Lewiston, he enjoyed every minute of it, I really hope your experience goes as well. He is in his second week with his mentor (9 yrs exp) and so far he is enjoying that as well.

    I want to say TY. Your questions over the last few months have been a big help to those of us just getting started. :smt038 :smt038 :smt038
