Summer off and it all starts again in September. Anyone need a temp?

Limited or Sole Trader?

Go limited and protect yourself.

I've just negotiated a new engineering contract, slightly more money and more interesting work (been doing change management for 18 months and a bit bored now).

Had another phone call last night to discuss a propulsion machinery opportunity, and today a safety engineering role!!!!

It never rains but it pours.

).

When I finished uni I realised I'm not built to sit in front of a computer all day, I need to be actually physically doing something, and I don't particularly care what it is.

The catch is, although I've done most things to some extent, I'm not actually qualifed or time served to do anything.

...

Anyone got any answers for a practical job, that you don't need 4 years experience to do, that pays a living wage?

Hmm, this seems to resonate and all seems strangely familiar somehow. Yeti, if you end up with too many suggestions feel free to pass them along!

As demonstrated, I'm adept at jumping onto bandwagons! Surely that's a marketable skill, no?

Sadly, Glamis is out. I was working towards it. Even have a worthy car for it. Oh well, maybe next year.
