Anyone one of these? Looking for more information from someone actually in the job as I've seen an apprenticeship for a Apprentice Vehicle Technician (HGV) and am debating applying...

Any help appreciated :)

I know someone that used to be an HGV mechanic

Apparently the moneys really good (as an apprentice) but the job gets a bit tedious at times. But tbh dont all jobs?

IMO apply mate.

I've seen one apprenticeship thats £183 a week compared to others at £90 so it seem a decent wage...just no idea on future salary etc.
