Hi anyone has kids accepted by ssp but eventually rejects ssp?

My son got offered into fencing post dsa when he has was approached by the coaches during trial lessons. I am glad for that but then the fee is abt $1500 per mth.
We were offered last thurs & we have only 2 weeks to consider.
Wondering if its worth the fee for 6 yrs & whats the career path like?
Thanks.
