Seems a good industry to be in, you don't see many poor gas engineers 8)
Think i may do some self funded further education after this course :wink:

I recently looked into Open University courses after discussing it with Danielle. I was horrified at the sheer amount of time that was needed and as for the years of study :o I'll have to stay thick for now as I have neither the time, patience or mental capacity to drag myself away from this monitor =P~

Good effort Paul. Nice to see someone is thinking ahead;)

Thanks Mr Stu, what sort of courses were you looking into?

I really need to start upping my game a bit career wise, i've been pretty lazy over the last few years and just rolled along taking the easy road, now it's getting harded to fund toys and other fun things so something needs to happen 8)

Definately not many poor gas engineers. Lots of work out there, and you can make alot of money, especially if you are willing to put in the extra effort.

Recently one guy turned up for a course in a new M3 and he was 25 if i recall rightly, and ran his own gas installer business.
