<p>Given this unexpected debate, I suppose I can concede that my post was misleading and unclear. I assumed that anyone reading it would assume that my comment was purely for a frame of reference comparison. Clearly, I was wrong.</p>
<p>Really, the bottom line is that, in my opinion, if you’re a solid student (which most on these forums seem to be), then it’s well worth your time to apply for these scholarships, and that I think it would initially have a better payoff than find a job (but not in the long run). If you happen to hold a different view, then I really have nothing more to say, and I suppose we’ll just agree to disagree.</p>
