it's good although when fully qualified you get pissed off with ppl wanting hommers all the time

When fully qualified you can get a fair bit of money.

My dad is on £18 per hour & has his own business.

Its a good line of work to get into, aslong as your not a sparky in a factory then you will have fun going on all different sites.

My job takes me up & down the country, i love it, only bad thing is, is comming home to my nagging mum.

Iam looking into going to night school to become fully quallified so i can up my hourly rate by £3.
