Why don`t you apply to be a retained firefighter that way you get the best of both worlds, and I think it is a bit easier to get into than full service

Retainer's is an option but as im sure you can appreciate i'd need a "normal" income and a permanent job
Mate's dad just emailed saying he could get me on the assembly work no bother but they're always temp work

Honesty is the best policy I reckon, make an appointment, tell them you feel undervalued and overworked and that you are contemplating leaving unless there are some job prospects to look to in the future....
Tell them you dread coming in to work and feel you're not getting ANY job stisfaction, not even in the salary department
Good Luck!

If you join the fire service i officially HATE you!
It's really hard to get in, I apply every year and they still wont let me in. Probably because im just too sexy and they dont want me hurting my perfect body or face. Or maybe its because i cant see 100%. I personally think its the first option.
Im in the same situation as you mate, hate my job, bored to fcuk, want a more hands on job, but the difference is my money is quite good so i stay just for the hell of it.
If you do get in the fire service, give me some tips please. Ill be your friend

Thats exactly what you shoudl be saying to them in the meeting, if they value you and your skills, as an employer they should do somethign about the way you feel, if they don't, should you be working with them in the first place?

Option D lol
On a series note choose option A and if they don't give you the answer your after go to option B if that fails stay in the job and look at the fire brigade rather than factory work and look into fire brigade.
hope that made atleast some sence lol

Know how you feel Tuppence, I'm in the CAD business too. I'm constantly battling to make 'old know it all bastards' shit ideas look good. And then cop the blame when no fucker likes it.
Worked in a builders merchant as a teenager cutting wood for orders using the big machines etc, was knackering but I miss it now...

Like in Fight club beat yourself up in his office, cover his hands in your blood and freak him out then get whatever you want via blackmail for not telling the police

fire service wont take you on till your about 24/25, best bet is join the RAF as a fireman for a couple years then apply to be a fireman, almost guaranteed entry ! !
