I don't mean to make you feel worse, but this is an extremely
narrow-minded, bottom-line attitude of your company.  I'll never
forget the first AS/400 Technical Conference I went to.  I crammed so
much new knowledge into my head in just that one week, and came back
being able to do so much more, that my company reaped rewards far
beyond what they spent to send me.  It must have been obvious to them
too, because the next year my manager told me I was going before I
even I had the chance to ask.  To refuse sending you to that kind of
training is penny wise and pound foolish.  But, I'm sure you already
know that.  :-)
