you can normally take a bickies course at the local collage,once a company finds you're doing that they take you seriously,do work experience through them,then they'll taker on the better/reliable ones,the rest will always pick up work aswell.



thats the way i understand it.

you can even do nightcourses,bloke i work with in his late 30's(already in a 35k/p/yjob) recently passed(incase his kids needed owt done when they are older..he relied on his dad),companies are falling over for willingness,courses are there and not mega expensive compared to the returns.ie job for life.
