Following on from the "Why did you become a sparky " what would you have become instead if anything was possible ?
I would have liked to move to Wyoming own a ranch and become a cowhand !:cowboy:
Whats yours ? And try to keep it clean please !
 
having been to the dentist twice this week then i would have to say dentist, £150 for an hour with the "dental hygeneist" = scrape and polish and £260 for 4 fillings
 
be an mp,no need to register for any schemes get paid 62,000 grand a year get your second morgtgage paid for you sell it pocket the profit,fiddle the expenses (on which they pay no tax on anyway) say sorry for getting caught fiddling the expenses stay in the job collect your substantial pension get drunk on subsidised drink at the bar get fat on the subsidised canteen food and then moan at the common working man for complaining that our duck dont need a hut to shelter from yhe rain. what better job can one man ask for. RANT OVER
 
Knowing then what I know now..gas fitter/heating engineer or whatever it is they call themselves nowadays
Or maybe a politician..not much work, lots of opportunities to stick my nose in the trough.
Maybe a human rights lawyer.......Don't get me started on them
 
A vet, I love animals, cows included dpelectrical, but anyone who has paid a vet's bill recently will understand that it is more expensive than private healthcare for humans, so you get to work with something you love and get paid a fortune to do it! Last bill paid was £ 1,300 for one day's care.!
 
got to be a MEP. huge salary, even bigger expense budget. attend meetings where you can't understand a word, do absolutely F'all useful, and a pension larger than the average man's pay7 days plus overtime.
 
As I have said before in a previous thread - "Come back to measure and monitor other people".
Benefits Are:-

* You never have the responsibility to actually deliver anything.
* Poor performance or non delivery is somebody else's fault and never yours.
* You have the ability of hind-site being so very wise after the event ie:- "I've said this would happen!"
* The opportunities are endless for these 'Jobworth' roles.
* The pay is good - especially if you call yourself a Consultant!!
