Future plans

[Hilldog]

Not sure if I am being a bit naive here but was wondering if some one could give me some good advice.

I am l well on my way to being fully qualified and whilst I am aware that there is still lots of work to do I can't help but having one eye on the future. I decided to become an electrician so that I could try and make some good money out of it. My question then is which is the best way to go to earn the big bucks? I've looked at various things but am not sure which is best. Initially I have thought about solar panels (PV), high voltage, or DLR (as my friend said there is good money in the London Underground). I was thinking of maybe trying to contract somewhere but obviously I need to get the extra tickets/qualifications and know which direction to move in first. I looked at all of the HNC & degree stuff and it looks pretty hard to be honest. Willing to do the work if that's where it's at but ideally wanted to contract or set up my own business.

again apologies for appearing to be naive but was just after anyone's thoughts on this.

thanks

Ah but some tory mofo reckons they're going to be a grand worse off. One or both are lying or they're gonna be breaking even

The tories said they will be 1,500 better off in a United Kingdom lol, we the English will have to pay for that as well as free hospital parking and free prescriptions, and free school dinners for all 4-8 year olds, good old Scotland, we love you really, please stay with us as an equal partner.

I think most Scots are intelligent enough to know when a politician is giving them the run around, 58% in favour of remaining in the UK at the last poll taken.

if all you care about is making fast good cash then become a Criminal

I wonder how many of those polled were 16 or 17?

They get the vote for this and could easily be swayed by promises of gold now and in the future!

If the Scots vote to go alone, the Goverments of the remainder of the UK may well look very different for a very long time.

I can't see how it will work, I mean it cannot be named the UK anymore, and I reckon the welsh will follow as well, a complete break up within 20 years I would think.

To the OP if you want to aim for a particular field then go for it, doesnt mean anything else is excluded, I wish I had looked at industry growth areas that pay good money when i was finishing my apprenticeship getting in early really helps with career progression.

I know Salmond is full of bulls*!t, and that there's no certainty of what will happen if we go independent, but there is one thing that IS guaranteed....if we vote YES we will never again be ruled by a tory government.......that's gotta be worth a punt!

And those of us who remain will be damned to spend the rest of our lives under a tory government. FTIO!

There's no such country as england anymore, its just known as Britain. Go to any supermarket and look in the refrigerated meats section you'll see meats marked as either Irish, Scottish, welsh or British. This country went to the dogs a long time ago...
