I'm a proper grafter so if I stick the 3 or so years out hopefully i'll get qualified and be looking at a stable income. |
I was in your shoes just over ten years ago, drifting from one dead end job to another. Got myself locked up for selling a few class A's and then after I served my time I decided to get wise. Went to college (Hugh Baird, you might now it) and studied electrics. Qualified as a spark and then stayed on in uni one day per week studying Civil Engineering. Finished that then started a QS degree. Currently in my last year at John Moores and working 4 days a week as a QS, earning £35k basic + bonuses and the usual package, car, health etc.
What I'm saying mate, is set yourself realistic goals, not too far ahead of yourself and then once you acheive that goal, set your sights a little further. Stick at it, put in the hard work and in ten years time you could be giving the same advice to someone who was once were you are now.
