Is it the industry standard to have to pay for your own training? Most civilian companies recruit and hire the best available candidates then send them through their new hire training program...at company cost. While the new hire is in training his pay is at a lower rate until graduation. The article said certain guys with the right resume by pass the academy and go right to work....that makes sense. Although I am sure they go through some Blackwater SOP type training. Do any companies in this industry PAY for the employee training and offer the new hire a living wage while in the training program??

NDD....While the training I am sure is comprehensive......20K does sound too steep.
