[QUOTE="Tony Soprano, post: 545582, member: 30909"] Get your driving license. Get on the books with a good firm who does big jobs. Get as much experience as you can. Then when your going out doing jobs by yourself further down the line you will know when your confidence and knowledge is in a good place. When that day comes go as a Subby. I wouldn’t personally go to work for a small firm that does little jobs pottering about 1 day here 1 day there. It’s ok for a while but to learn a wide range of skills you need to be on big construction jobs that last for months. You will be doing all sorts of different stuff. Just depends what you wana do and what you enjoy. I won’t touch domestic. I hate it. But that’s just me. But put me on a job for 3 months in a factory or warehouse and I’m loving it. Some sparks are 1 day here 1 day there jobbers, and others like me are what I like to call project sparks. Longer period jobs. Bigger stuff. You will have to just figure out which one you are as time passes. [/QUOTE]
