Been chatting with my Dad who is in a trade, we have had many of these chats over the last year about getting me into the trade before he retires. I have bad backs and allergies to spare so I have always said no until now. Wont go into this too much but we see a niche coming in over the next ten years that we can use his skills and my youth and quick mind (lol). Means working all hours to study but it will prepare me for a chance if they offer redundancy next year at any point, if they dont i quit just before they want me to train others in the private company.
Feeling a bit better with all the hugs and support, feeling objective now..
Thanks everyone.
