Do you go for extra skills that aren't electrical?

[Mr Sworld]

I took, and passed, my forklift license last month. Not directly related to being a sparks but it's a feather in my cap.

Does anyone else take courses not directly related to the trade but could be 'handy'?

Keep thinking about such stuff, then spend money on new tools that I need instead

I thought I might take an OU degree in Computering and get a job as resident IT engineer with the MOD . I recently advanced to Right Clicking with no great effort!! :C

[Mr Sworld]

Ohhhh..... I think you've trumped me!

 

[Evans Electric]

I didn't hear anything !!!!

 

[androiduk2002]

I was lucky to work for an employer that believed in the right tools for the job, the red fork lift was a special , 1.5 tonnes at 8.5 mtrs on a counter balance was unheard of almost everything about that truck was a special build.

From the extra wide front tyres the the hydralic spreading forks to allow for the smallest of pallets to its more regular 4.1 mtr loads
