Hello everyone!

[toast]

Hi all,

New to the forum and thought it would be best to start here...

My name is Dan, 24. Usual story, sick of my current job and fancy a change. I feel the next step in my career moves me closer to a chair and a computer, dont fancy that quite yet.

Hopefully i'll be starting an apprenticeship in plumbing and heating in september, paperwork has been sent off just waiting on a response from the college

I'll be sure to check out the forum and avoid starting bone threads

Hello Lame plumber,

Luckily I've already found an employer who is willing to take me on. Level 1 starts in September, just waiting to hear from college about an induction

Welcome!

I'm sure that you have to have a certain number of posts before you can edit you avatar?!

Good luck with all you're doing & welcome again!

 

[lame plumber]

better than most who come on here, good for you get on in there.

Maybe i need a certain amount of posts then, its like that with some other forums as well.

Cheers lame. My younger brother started his plumbing apprenticeship straight from leaving school and hes got on pretty well, never really struggling for work. His old boss has agreed to take me on whilst my brother still works for him. My bro lives with me and the misses so its easy to just jump in with him in the mornings and head off to work.

It should all work out OK in the end. Only problem is I've had to put the misses on the mortgage because of her 'stable job', gives us some hope if we want to re mortgage again in 2 years. Not something i wanted to do haha

 

[lame plumber]

you are a light at the end of the tunnel, so many are struggling to get apprenticeships but you have used your position to get in there, dont waste it mate and youll crack on in a few years on your own

Hi Dan. My name is Tam.
Usual story, sick of my current job and fancy a change. Funnily enough I feel the next step in my career moves me closer to a chair too. The big chair infront of the telly when i rap this rat race in.

Btw colleges don't do apprenticeships, companies do but i'm sure you know that.

Good luck and welcome.

[SafeGasInstall]

[toast]

Hey guys!

Hi Tam, I'm only doing the one day a week through college as part of the apprenticeship. I want to get the NVQ out the way as soon as possible.

Listening to you lot I'm not sure I'm doing the right thing haha, better get that tesco application ready just incase

 

[tamz]

The money is sh these days and getting worse.
I only get up in the morning because i'm awake :smile:

 

[Roger Welton]

Tamz speaks the truth.

 

[Rickster123]

Welcome along toast! Some good money to be made from tesco!

 

[lame plumber]

Tescos will follow the AA soon and be having plumbers vans running around, then I'll be shopping at Sainsburys coz every little bit wont be helping me.
