Fabricator/welder at my old mans company, although working on my maths skills to get into the RAF as an aircraft Technician.

. Good for you. Stick at it, it'll be well worth it I'm sure.

Thanks, it's something I've always wanted to do. Plus it'll make my parents proud as hell, which is a big part for me.

I wear a green suit and fire a gun (now and then).

Suffered a back injury which has pretty much ended my career early so I'll soon be a civilian and have no clue where to go from here! Some very interesting professions on here, some sound very interesting. I think a nice progression of this thread would be a short description of how you got into your job an what quals you've had to attain to get there!

Sounds like my job working in Dagenham Ford engine plant :lol:
Only difference is I'm not really in any danger. Fair play to you.

I should hope they'd be safe, if I wasn't bothered about safety I'd do it myself lol

Anyone in IT know anyone in the Leeds area that might want to give me a job in IT? I am wasting/wasted my life. I should be working in IT.

Currently drive a van delivering goods to sparkys. Freelance IT stuff.

Massive respect to the health care and the armed forces guys.
