Recommended Posts

Today i went in to a shop i always use for my machine parts. while i was in there the owner pulled me into his office and offered me a job to finish off my fitting and turning apprentaship. The buisness has been around for years. nasa uses them to get their parts for the deep space facility and taff uses them too. I am working as a sales man atm at autobarn and i love it. But this job could open a lot more up to me. whats everyones thoughts. I already think i know what im gonna do.

Angelus, no one knows you or your dreams for life better than you!, you know what's going to pay off long term, you've experienced life....so whatever your dreams are...just go for it! life isn't a practice ground for the main event, it's the real thing.

Go for it, you can always work part time at Autobahn if you want to be there still :).

There's nothing worse than missing out on a opportunity and regretting it later on. If it's something you really want to do, do it! When you get older and things change, it may not be possible to complete your apprenticeship. Like the Rev said; you only go through this life once!

Well Mate

 

Your already half way there

 

Finish your time and then do what ever you want, youll find as time goes by employers will only look at well qualified and skilled people to employ, things wont get any easier, gone are the days of a minimum pass at school etc

 

Cheers

So I went in for a second interview today. Been getting stuff from there for years now i get to see the whole place. we stood around and chatted for a while. I asked lots of questions lol. So I will be on the same wages as what I am on now. I will have weekends off yay. He has also told me that family is everything and that i should not change my Friday mornings with my son but continue having them and come in at lunch. So my job will not only be a fitter and turner making things out the back but part of my job is to help maintain stock in the place. So a little computer work not so bad. A little customer sales as well. 2 fitter and turners to train me up. seems pretty good by me. plus I can get new machinery for my workshop through the business lol. Mandrel bender, hmm what else can i Think of lol. I do have to pay lol.

Well said Rev, well said.

 

Yeh dude, you would be crazy not to, but in my opinion, only do a small casual shift once a weekend, not both days, you will miss your time off too much, you always get heaps done on your days off...
