Turbo Goose Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Hi guys, just got news through that I'm starting a new job in August. As a gas turbine engineering apprentice at Siemens.After I left college 2 years ago I've had some crap jobs, catering assistant, chicken catcher, warehouse assistant and a saturday job as a scrapyard assistant which I actually like and still gunna find time for that on saturdays.Thousands of people applied, about 1000 got through to testing then about 200 got through to interviews. Then I got 1 of the 20 places on the course so well happy.Pay starts at £166 a week to go to college, then everytime I achieve something and learn more I get a pay rise. After 3-4 years training I'll be working as a gas turbine engineer full time on big monies.Well happy and can't wait to start. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
