[QUOTE="daveyboy, post: 70067, member: 1627"] Hi guys, I know in this recession work is light for everyone but what I think is really sad is how there is only a very few mates jobs out there(even before credit crunch started). People go to college to learn the trade but how can they get any experience?? I think its one of the reasons why there are so many cowboys out there. Not because they like bodging but simply they may have never learnt from another good tradesman. My example....... 26 years old from surrey. Have worked in the building game for a number of years doing allround maintenance which includes a fair bit of electrics for a large developer.Have a van and all tools got my 17th and soon my level 3 2330. I have asked everywhere for work/experience but to nothing. Even happy to work for free. So basically when i've finished + done 2391. I'm hoping to move into the sparkyin field but got no experience? What do you make of that? headbang So is it best to just jump in at the deepend and learn from there or have you guys got any ideas? ?:| Thanks. [/QUOTE]
