Hi all,
I'm Lewis, a recently qualified turner who works on industrial valves. I also recently coded in a carbon steel pipe procedure for tig welding. Electrics has always been something I was eager to get into, I was an electrical systems engineering apprentice before I was made redundant, needing a job led me to where I am. Trouble is the pay is not really ideal compared to even labouring of all things.
I have a few questions if I may:
I have a level 2 city and guilds in electrical installation already. Is the level 3 worth doing in my evenings or would it be redundant?
I also have a level 3 BTEC in electrical engineering that I gained before I was made redundant, I was made redundant because they were ha I g a shuffle and the whole maintenance department was being disbanded and I wasn't willing to go into the production side of the company. I never got a chance to try it. I was the odd job boy who made up sensors and installed motors etc. They never assigned me one person to work with, and I asked and got nowhere.
I'm not sure what to do, I'm 23 with no house so I have the chance to make a change but I'm not sure what into, electrician route or the electrical engineering route. Just need some advice I know id need to probably do another apprenticeship but I don't want to be earning little money for a considerable amount of time.
Sorry for the essay!
