New electrician

[Leighton]

Morning All,

I’m very new to the world of electrics so go easy on me. I had a career change about 6 years ago. I was a white collar member of a company that had poor work ethics which I couldn’t be a part of anymore as I didn’t agree with their customer care policy, they just didn’t care after being paid in full. Anyway after many different jobs, self employed, i’ve Decided to go on an electrician’s course. I’ve just turned 50 years young. I’m fit, healthy and still got my own teeth... i’m Curious to see if I would be accepted widely as an electrician’s mate in order to get some experience under my belt. This course is costing me a hell of a lot of money which hopefully demonstrates my absolute commitment. Would be grateful to hear your views. Thanks. John.

Welcome to the asylum mate.

I suppose it all depends on the view of people, with regards to age.
I think older may be better, cause you wouldn't spend all your time on your phone.

Oh, and its "50 years old" not "young". Not getting at you as I'm more past it than you.. I'm old and I deal with it..

I’ve been fitting kitchens by myself for the last 6 years I completely understand where you’re coming from. Lifting and cutting 40mm x 4.1 mtr axiom w/tops is no walk in the park.
