If I was a recent college graduate in the local churches, I wouldn't consider FTTA unless there's guarantee of full time support upon FTTA graduation.

Titus Chu in Cleveland often had regional long-term events for aspiring saints. He could
never call them "T-R-A-I-N-I-N-G-S" since only Witness Lee himself was qualified to "T-R-A-I-N" us, so he called them a "10 Month Labor."
Lucky for me Cleveland never had inspections for my underwear drawer, like they had at the FTTTaipei.
In order to expedite the transition back into civilian life, the "Labor" would
not necessarily follow univ. graduation, but could be based on the participants' own schedule, facilitating necessary lifestyle adjustments both before and after the "Labor." This was a definite improvement to LSM's arrangement, which FTTA was never willing to accept. Needless to say, for numerous reasons including this one, many FTTA trainees had much difficulty assimilating back to the normal church life in their localities. LSM always blamed the local elders for this, especially in the GLA, since there could
never be a problem with "Brother Lee's Training."
