Trowelfodder is right. Getting turned down for MA funding was one of the best things that happened to me, though it didn't feel like it at the time, nor for the next two years living in manky sharing houses saving the cash for tuition fees. Nor yet for the two further years it took me to get a decent job (by archaeological standards). Best of luck with the circuit- you'll find out if it's really for you. Just think how much fun you'd have had paying back the loan on digger money.
PS-I once had a phone call from a confused (and apparently desperate) PM asking me if I could identify someone from the years he had worked for me and his subsequent employment. Turned out he'd forgotten to attach page 1 of the CV and had signed his name as an illegible sprawl. There's a moral to that somewhere
