Apprenticeship

[Chas Uno]

I thought you had to live in india to work in one of those?

No, you just have to get a degree and then find it can't get you a job at the end of the course That's what seems to happen to a lot of graduates

Then again, India can be a fun place to live and you've got a good excuse to emigrate!

You guys think Apprenticeships pay peanuts? You should try funding yourself on a mdes, then you'd appreciate what skint really means.

i started my aprenticeship when i was 19. i just walked into a bodyshop and asked for a job they said yes then i contacted remit and they did there assesment bits and went from there. i remember being told tho that you have to start it before you are 25.

anyone who wants to be car tech thesedays is :nutter:

With you there!

Done some servicing on my car last week, first time under the car for over a year, fook me, felt terrible the next day, like been run over by a tractor and I skint my knuckles so everytime I dip into my jeans pockets it's sair!

That's just the tip of the iceberg of the car trade, glad I actually ain't in it no more.

Liam you forgot the constant exposure to car exhaust fumes (think of that you selfish lot that run around with EGR valve disconnected),working with oil & other substances,often working outside under vehicles in all conditions,having to buy you own tools (decent kit your looking at £8-10K) stink of oil & so do your clothes all the time,more expensive car insurance,annoying customers to deal with,test driving death traps (and believe me there are plenty around!) spending around a month away from home on constant training,crap pay,no future prospects etc etc yeah its great fun
