[QUOTE="Gigagator, post: 245223, member: 16892"] I was waiting for the first comment like that! Seriously though, I'm determined and have my heart set on becoming en electrician. I don't want to be rich, I just want to enjoy what I do and this is something I can enjoy if things work out. I've heard a lot of stories about a very tough market out there and too many sparks, not enough work etc. But I can't just ignore that this is something I really want to do. I could continue doing what I do now, I make a good full time wage right now doing 4 nights a week on night shifts, but it makes me depressed and unhappy because it's so dead-end and isn't a career. Thanks for the response Evans Electric, I appreciate that times are tough and finding practical experience will be tough but surely there has to be some positive to what I'm setting out to do!? Hopefully somebody can post with regards to what courses I need to be looking at from the list from the link. I think I need some reassurance too; a lot of people say 'Don't bother becoming an electrician, no money in it or nobody will employ you' etc. and that worries me a fair bit. [/QUOTE]
