do you really want to be a spark? like i mentioned before you will have to keep on getting (tickets) to say you are qualified, i still work on shops (living out of suitcase at 63!!) (100 hrs + a week) the joiners get more money AND they DO NOT HAVE TO KEEP GETTING THIS AND THAT EDITION!!!!

yeh i do but have doubts because no one will give me a chance everywer has the same excuse of not enough work or they've just got rid of people etc, i know because im on 17th edition now but dont know how long that will last good few years right? i herd joiners get buttons compared to sparks?

No there isn't much work out there. The domestic market is jam packed full of people who have found there isn't "money in computers" anymore and were suckered in by the "There's loadsa money in trades now" training companies who sell you a load of certificates which don't mean anything.

At worst you're looking at jumping on the bandwagon late.
At best you still have time to look for the next 'Get rich quick' scheme.

Spot on fella
