Want to get proper job only this will mean getting a proper qualification, can you get a trade without being a £60 a week YTS pleb? and can it be done while i work shifts
?
Not 100% sure what i want to do yet, but as long as it aint factory work i'm not fussy sparky, bricky, plumber owt that commands a decent wage and will always be needed

My apprentice at the moment is 29,, he's doing a adult apprenticehip! Its strange teaching someone who is older than you! One of the adults apps is 35
i think they earn about 270 take home a week,which isnt too bad for training

It's already been said, but a plastering course will mean endless work, You can never get a plaster, my mate had a bloke do his lounge and was supposed to come and do the rest of the house £££, he ended up having 5 plasters do different rooms as he could never get them to turn up when they said they would.
Loads of people I know really struggle to find plasterers so if you get known as a decent reliable one you'll make a mint.
Plus you can be self employed so no boss, and you own working hours and low overheads.

I'm 25 so whats my best option? trouble is i cant take too much of a pay cut cause of the mortgage and loan and other bills and shit, so its either try and fit a course in my own time and then shift jobs once qualified or risk taking an apprentice job on less money while i learn
Forgive me for being ignorant Gareth but whats that doing?
cheers for the help lads

Its the worst thing i never did
wasted years in crap jobs while living at home, would of been the perfect time with no outgoings to get some form of trade, now i got stuff to pay for i'm lumbered. Working shifts dont help cause it means i'd have to miss some days out due to being at work. Just found out a local learning centre has an open day next week so i might try and get to that, think im also gonna start looking for adult apprenticeships, havent got a clue where to start though

plumbing mate, either gas or water. small fortune to be made in that. can easily make 70k a year working in the right place with a corgi licence.
theres alot of colleges that do evening or night courses in it to.
