I thought I'd finish that off for you Andy78 obviously to the music of 'only fools and horses'!
My dad and grandad were machine tool setters and recognised as at the top of their game but I'm a sparks, started off with an apprenticeship with the local Health Authority, mostly maintenance in Hospitals, then maintenance/installation in a pottery followed by a sheepskin tannery [smelly]. After that 4 years with a small contractor mostly domestic and new build estates, then 24 years for the County Council as an electrical inspector mostly on street lighting, highway power supplies etc supervising and issuing/inspecting replacement works ['asset management']
I escaped from there while I still had my sanity in May 2014 and went self-employed. Although I'm working really hard a lot of the time and 52 now I wish I'd taken this route much sooner.
Stoke lad?
Has anyone here say worked e.g. in a factory or has been been in a job they don't like to then go onto an electrician? What ages did you pursue this?
Triple shot, skinny, low foam lattes on LankyWill then, interesting thread - how diverse we all are.
