Default Re: The usual career change dilemma

HI engee,
Welcome,I'm afraid I'm no further forwards as it appears people will quickly take your money and still you will not be that much further forward as to a career change-all this get 6/12 months experience is a non-starter if you are an old timer looking to move on-still undecided which way to go-all gloom and doom on variou trade forums,tiling,plumbing,plastering etc!
Hope you get a better experience than I so far.

Theres not enough work to go around ,theres going to be casultys ,true tradesmen are very protective about there jobs ,by some missconseption everyone seems to think the electrical trade is easy ,well paid and plenty of work for everyone.

not wishing to deflate your illusion ,but........

I think we will see a return to the early eightys ,where if you were opperating off your patch you risked getting bashed. or worse ,
i know a plasterer who had to kill a guy ,because he had to, he had work stolen and he had 4 kids,the poacher was on his manor and wouldnt head the warning.....sh~t

be carefull and enjoy yourself.

sorry Wayne must have missed it

I have challenged a number of people (as you know) to state what they consider to be 'qualified', but to my knowledge have had no takers

agree'd, the perfect argument is there, shakey being the one who knows a shed load, but not in any competent persons scheme, does that make him non competent, I think not.

If You Build It, They Will Come!!!!!
