RS2quattro Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Bad times mate,Shows how bad some places are, complete disregard for employees and as such, they only keep the bad ones. Needless to say after your PM, I don't think I'll be working for those folks.Go see your friends, just have a laugh, ride your bike, focus yourself on whats good around you. Keep busy - you wanted to get fit, focus on that.Night school sounds like a good idea, and can lead on to better things with a great non-office-politik-bolloks job, but before you do this, be sure you want to leave uni - We all get fed up of the academics there. Remember thats what they do for a living, so no surprise that what and how most teach is very boreing to you and me, different out in the big world and all that....Your ideas sound good to me, just make sure a huge change of direction is necessary.Matt.

Max69vk Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 If Im the 1st person to has to act 'sensible' all I can say is dont sack off Uni! You may hate it now, but its nothing compared to what you will feel when you get pigeon-holed into crap job after crap job because you wont have completed your course(s).If you want to learn more about engineering/welding etc, do that as night courses. Unfortunately unless your willing to train to a very high degree there's a million & one mechanics/engineers/welders etc in this world alraedy.

I dunno. You never see an old welder style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />My suggestion right now would be to maybe do an apprenticeship in turning/machining.There's such a shortage of skill there, and such a backlog of work worldwide (I've tried getting stuff done - can be up to 6 month lead time).I've heard about good machinists being offered staff posts at £25/hr.

Crusoe Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 yeah, there's a machinist here who's just upgraded to a year old S55 amg merc, with overtime and shift work they can be taking home over £50k a year at them moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
