That's a great post AndyM, summed up how I felt a few years so myself, coasted through a job etc then that ended and I was left wondering what the hell to do with myself.
To be honest I've become very angry that we are of a generation that was basically lied to, all the way through school I was told go to college, go to uni it's the only way to get anywhere, in reality that's a load of shite, oh how I wish I had done an apprenticeship or learned a trade when I was 18.
I'm now 28 and have only done office jobs so I'm
Now basically confined to that type of work, can't afford to start messing about with apprenticeships or going back to college. Just wish I had started on the bottom ladder of a big company with the ability to move up a ladder, I can't stress enough how much a mistake it is to work for small
Companies with a ceiling above you from day one, I've certainly fallen fowl of that.
