I have never heard of a trainee covering their losses. Swift is a GREAT place to learn, and they give you the capital and in most cases the freedom to try what you want. 40 to 50k is very possible, like its already been said it all depends on you and the branch your in. Put in the work and effort, and money is a by product. On a side note, why is everyone hating on swift? Don't hate the player hate the game, and I'll leave it at that.
