Toronto Film School in Canada. 18 month course. Had a phone conversation with them the other day and it all sounded very promising and exciting, with possible decent job prospects.

 

The idea of moving to another country doesn't phase me. The price and if it's a sensible thing to do is what's grating my pickle.

no pain, no gain Rawky 

 

In't that to be a cross country runner or summat?

Decision made

 

That sounds for too sensible.

If you can afford to pay, can you afford to take an internship somewhere?

 

and ... Erm, I will keep on thinking

 

The most comparable is London and it's twice as expensive.

 

I can work out in Toronto, I'm permitted to work 20 hours a week and there are plenty of language schools. I mean it is doable, but my savings will be all gone.

and what about the cost of living compared to London, which is extortionate

They offer you accommodation for an additional cost. It works out to be about ÂĢ500-ÂĢ600 a month. But that includes rent, food, a phone, and general living costs.

A life. A house. Thought it would be wise to have something to support you.

Well I am early 30's with plenty tying me down... If I had none of that... Yeah I'd go for it, the only thing you've said that would worry me is the wiping out of the savings... It's always good to have something.... Anything  just incase.
But everything else sounds fab and like everyone else has said you don't want to look back on life wondering what would have happened if you'd taken that leap!

Rawky do it.  Once life takes over & you do have the house, career etc. Your chances to such things will shrink massively.  You're young, you're not tied down.  GO FOR IT!

 

I did similar when I was mid twenties, was in a safe, well(ish) paid job, but I was bored.  Handed my notice in & flew off to the states with no idea what I would do, but it didn't matter.
