Welcome along, you have a hard slog in front of you, very hard just now for anyone in the gas industry, what are you hopeing for, have you any experience in the plumbing trade ? as you will need knowledge of systems and how they work, even if you only want to do repair work without knowing how systems work you will find it very difficult.

Hi.
I'm not a gas engineer or plumber/ my husband is.
It's not all doom and gloom but I don't think I'd encourage and of my kids to become gas engineers or plumbers in the future.
If anything my suspicion is that the real money is made by electricians!

We got a ex squaddy as apprentice, he's awesome - good crack and does exactly what he's told and nothing is too much. He's finding money hard but goes off to play soldiers at weekend with TA for extra wonga! Good luck !
