I was jealous of the youngest guys who attended. They didn't have any bad habits to break, and were eager to learn and had plenty of time to practice what they learned. Don't be surprised if you don't get hired this year, but are invited back. Harry told lots of guys with promise to go home and practice what they'd learned for a year and then come back - really good advice for someone who has just learned the Pro system and way of doing things. It also was a way for him to see who was really sincere about trying to get a job. I went to Harry's school and loved it. Others who have gone to Evans' have had the same sentiment. Above all, it will instill confidence in your ability. Enjoy, you lucky dog!
