Fat-Ferret 857 Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 I spent a long time qualifying and chasing a big job...when I finally got to where i wanted I had spent a lot of time pursuing something that was not for me.... Everyone but me thought it was fantastic! I stuck with it for as long as I could but realised that you have to do what you love....life is just too short 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pesky1972 4,928 Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Served my time as a plater/fabricator. More recent years I've been in mechanical engineering, but other than it paying the bills I get nothing out of it. Lately been looking at doing something, maybe initially as a bit of a hobby, that I could develop into a business and that I could go at full time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DIDO.1 20,865 Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Pest control, I could make a full time living but I don't try to hard, I like a change so do the odd days drystone walling,few days at a knacker yard odd day fencing and fitting a few cow mats. I work flat out in summer so I don't like doing more than three and a half days in the hunting season. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
