i always wanted to be a mechanic from when i was a kid until i left school but as i have eczema it wouldnt be the ideal career.. (i still like to work with cars tho)

so i done an apprenticeship and various electrical courses at 19, qualified as basically an industrial electrician (generators, panels, hv electrical switchgear e.t.c) im now 27, on 23k and earning 30k with O/T but i hate the job, iv been looking for something else that interests me ever since i was 19 but nothing has taken my fancy!! feel like im stuck in a hole

hmmm


Intresting stories,good reading

Well left school at 16 started apprenticeship with chubb electronic security, done that for 4 years/college with them then took me on as a engineer, so all in all 9 years with them then started myself sub-contracting to chubb and bigger companys, doing that now for over 3 years and wanting to leave it all behind and have a "career" what im doing is no use for the future so re-training at the moment but cant say as its top secret lol
