Discuss Would you give up being a train driver to be an electrician? in the Electricians Chat - Off Topic Chat area at ElectriciansForums.net
If that's the case I qualified as a train driver 62 years ago will my qualifications be OK today?
The ones I drove had a transformer, it went round and round and round, till I had to go to bed,Only if they still run on coal, bring your own shovel...........
Most of the money is made up in OT, unsociable hours, shift allowances etc etc any job that paid that the workers would be minted.from what i gather being a train driver is well paid and you have some quite vocal unions covering your back. Even better is a london underground driver. i believe trying to get one of them jobs is like finding a unicorn, its very much closed shop you have to work your way up and be onside with the unions.

Cheeky young gitElectrickery was invented when you where a child now thats a fib..........
Seeing as we are being honest, explanation would be niceTrain driver= job for life or as long as you want it,
It's hardly a dumb statement rail workers are so well protected these days by the TU that they would need an awfully watertight reason to give anyone the Spanish Archer, the Unions would be all over the rail operators concerned like a dose of Ebola, hence my statement job for as long as you want it, true or false, I know which way I would vote.Train driver= job for life or as long as you want it,
That's not a dumb statement, that's the truth.Just be aware that training to be a spark as a "mature" student, then getting a job could be an uphill battle.
Re-training and going self employed could be very difficult and it may take 3-4 years to build up a client base and then earn a reasonable income..
You are employed, with holiday and sickness pay and I suspect a decent pension ..... take all this into account........
