mate, ive looked into plumbing as i really need to change jobs too.

there is a 3 year waiting list to get enrolled on a college course round here, dunno what its like in essex, but no chance round here.

also i cannot afford to drop to apprentice wages, so thats out the window

and noone will take you on without experiance...

catch 22 for me, but i hope you get summut sorted soon mate
