I have read lots of threads about people in quandaries about work, how the money doesn't go far enough for their lifestyle, or how hard it is for them to find new work.
I also detected a vibe that a whole lot of you are destined to work in offices being middle managers with your degrees in a company that in the whole scheme of things don't really produce anything apart from sourcing other companies with a service/product.
Until a couple of years ago I was treading down the same lines of a frustrated existence; finding temp work didn't pay enough, and all permanent jobs we paid less. Rumours of high salary jobs in offices still lingering but no pathway there ever existed, just here-say.
This was until I compltely revoked all work opportunities down that avenue, and turned to the construction industry. Our poor little country has a gigantic demand for construction personnel, in fact so much so that building sites will take any non-speaking illegal immigrant to do the work, due to the laziness of our nations citizens.
The stunning fact is that as a office temp in London you may be lucky to earn just over £9 an hour, which amounts to approximately £72 a day. In construction, you could walk in from the street and put in a hard day's graft and earn yourself £90/day easily. The days in construction seem shorter and you're likely to be on your way home at 3:30pm, and you might aswell throw away your membership to your gym, because your new form of work will tone you up the natural way.
Regardless of how intelligent you may consider yourself and however many qualifications you have, bin them, they're leashes to a fruitless future. If you want to earn money that doesn't make you question what on earth it is all about, and feel like you've actually achieved something, get yourself a job in construction.
Just to go on about this a bit more. A banksman (the guy who assists by radio, to the crane driver), earns £1000/week and that is all possible by taking a 2 day course for this qualification, and you don't wear a suit and don't need to have a CV to get a job due to the high demand of work. A labourer who doesn't even need to speak English (although it would help), sweeping floors, lifting stock and doing odd jobs around the place earns £100-120 a day (depending on the contractor), all you have to show is willing.
Get yourself qualified as a plumber/dry liner/electrician/brick layer etc. and you could be earning several hundred pounds a day, without a poxy government loan to pay off for your education.
Let me know if you find this thread at all interesting, perhaps even entertaining the idea of it. I'd like to know if anyone was looking for something else and this idea gave them any idea different from what they were already looking.
