Career Change?

[Galliano]

I'm at college in the National Diploma In Vehicle Maintenance and Technology. Its a good course but may be finishing my first year and not going back for my second due to landing myself an interview to get into the trade anyways.

I wouldn't bother with mechanics mate.

Stick with plumbing or even consider doing electrician course - I wish I went for either of these when I left school

Oh well, you live and you learn, I should have listened to my older brother who was none the wiser.

[japstar]

my bro told me not to do plumbing!but i did. (me = stupid c*nt!!!)

i duno i still fancy mechanics, but not really as a job, just a hobbie.

but youll never learn by diy or a wee course what you will as a job??>

[yaristurbo]

youll learn as much as you need to know dude

[ryan lang]

yes but alot of garages cant be arsed to take some1 on who hasnt got any qualifications because that means they'd have to pay for an appernticeshp for you, you'd be better off with the qualification you've pretty much already got and just learnin in your own time about cars, because the cars you would be working on wont be yuor own so yuo probably wouldnt find it any where near as rewarding or exciting

[yaristurbo]

they actually love trainees as they can pay you pence lol, slave labour, by your second year you will be doing all level of work and still egt paid puttence because you havent got that all important bit of paper

Plumbing would be my choice mate, keep to working on cars as a hobby, you'll pick most things up as you go along

Oh and plumbing must be good, I would probably end up "plumbing" the MILF's in the houses

[japstar]
