Hi guys im new to this forum
Just want some advise/info
im currently 21yrs old, im self employed after being laid of after my apprenticeship i then worked as a subcontractor for the same company for a few months
since then ive gone into working for a different company through an agency and ive been there for about 7 months now moving from job to job and now ive been asked if id like to go cards in with them.
The thing is ive noticed that the money that im getting now is never really going to improve unless i do overtime obviously (which there never really is) i want to progress from this and move forward but i dont really know what to do as i enjoy what i do and id like to stay on the tools really.
Im not sure if i should go do a hnc/hnd and get a better job but these seem to be office related, i wouldnt mind doing something different like renewable energy, on or offshore work e.g oil rigs, wind farms or even working with power stations, railway roads/train stations
As i have no real training in any of the above although its still electrically related being just an installation electrician i cant see where i can go from here.
it doesnt bother me if i had to take a lower pay while i was learning as long as it meant i was moving into something better as i dont know anyone else that really knows or cares about progressing
hopefully you guys can help me out, sorry this is a long post!
any info is appreciated and thanks for your time
