Mr Shannon

Probably been done a thousand times but...

I was just wondering what everyone does for a living, If there happy in there current jobs and what would you be doing if you had the choice.

Currently I'm working in admin and I cant stand it, money isnt the best and I'm thinking of going in for my HGV license.

So what about the rest of you?

How old are you mate? you could always ask the local garages if they want an apprentice. The problem with that is the wages is piss poor.

Mr Shannon,

depending on when you passed your test, you may need to pass your 7.5 Tonne and then your Class 2 first before doing your HGV Class 1.

in Dublin.

I served my time as a sparks with this company & I's still here 9 years on

As for if I like my job it pays the bill's , grass is always greener etc.

Mr Shannon

Seems like alot of you are set up for life, well done

I just cant seem to think what I want to do as a life long career.

Most of the things I've been thinking off either mean me be being an apprentice on a crap wage or me going to college full time and having no wage at all.

I would love to open my own I.C.E shop but then there's the problem of start up costs.
