But be warned, I have been looking into it myself, reading the forum, going to HQ websites, and this process has taken some a matter of months, but it has taken others up to 5 years. It is not for the weak of heart. Make sure it is something you really want.

I have read Navane's thread on AI and I know what is involved, but alas, as a student I didn't have the time to type it all out, hence why I directed her to the threads. I also stated that it was an option she could look into, not saying it was a sure thing, as recruitment, bids, etc. never really are. I figured if she read the thread, she would figure that out herself.

Not only are you weaving into the wrong lane, you are driving on the wrong side of the road. AI is not and never will be an "alternative" to not joining an NPC in college. No matter how much "research" you have done on the interwebz, you clearly DO NOT understand it. I'm astonished that you are researching and considering it for yourself at all. You are still in college. You left a multi cultural GLO. You failed to accept a bid during NPC recruitment and are now a new member of a service GLO. Please stop dispensing your "expert" advice on a subject you have no understanding of and have no business advising others about and concentrate on your studies and your current service GLO.
