Hello. Is there anyone out there who can give me some clear-cut advice about how I can train as a plumber? I have just been made redundant from warehouse work. Years ago I trained as a Time-Serve Joiner and worked in the building industry for 20 years. I was laid-off and ended-up taking agency work in a warehouse, then taken on permanent staff and have been there ever since. I do not want to return to that old way of life now (I'm 51).
Obviously, I am looking for a worthwhile job now, something that will keep me going until I retire, so I reckon I have about 14+ years of full-time working life to use in a constructive way. I am not looking to make a fortune, just a way of earning enough to pay the bills and do a worthwhile job at the same time.
What's the best way of going about it? A college course? Short or long? The last thing I want to do is to pay and commit myself to something and then find out later on that I could have done it a better way.
I am willing to learn and open to new ideas. I just need to know - from those who have walked this path before me - the best way to go forward.
Any constructive advice any of you can offer would be very gratefully received. Looking forward to hearing from you.
