Yeah, tell me about it, all my mates that did a trade are sorted. I did a 3D Design BTEC when I left school. Waste of time that was...

I'm currently earning a trade at the moment, Apprentice Dental Technician. It's a good job and i'm good at it. The money is crap though, not enough for me to get by on. 2 more years left untill i'm qualified, I won't be able to stick it out. The boss tells me i'm the best technician he's seen for a while, i'm doing the job of a fully qualified technician, but i'm in peanuts. It was ok when I was living at home but my parents fucked off to Cornwall and i'm in the shit now.

Loads of debts.

I want to find a half decent job. A plaster or tiler would be ok but i've been looking all over the place for jobs and not found anything advertised for either of them.
