Plastering sux!!

[Stopper Dan]

I am sick to death of plastering! I want a job in the motorcycle industry somewhere.. Problem is cant pay mortgage and retrain at the same time..

The question is how do you get a job in the industry you love when your stuck in another trade/industry ??

Take a mortgage holiday, the bank will give you 3 months no payments.....

Was a deckhand who had enough. Yea I had to reprioritise things and one of em was selling the house so I could retrain. Had to live like a student for quite along time and it ripped my rashin card at the beginning, but I did get used to it. You would have to be pretty lucky to just get the job you was after and I've allways had to work pretty hard to get to where I achieved. This involved 4 years on a student allowance retraining. These days I'm laughing, even a good work buddy reckons I landed on my feet when I became a nurse. Never been better in real life, just struggling with this online stuff (ironic I know). Took me a good 12 months to figure out exactly what I wanted to do, sounds like you have figured that one out allready. Now its a matter of how, as you asked in the first post. Sorry I don't have any insightfull comments regarding that question.:thud:

I managed. Took a bit of a pay cut to do it though.

How well do you get on with the local bike shops? If you have a good rapport with one, maybe offer to work Saturday mornings, even for free to get a bit of experience. Also offer maybe to work Saturday mornings and rather than get paid, see if you can get a credit on your tab or account. I did this for a while, worked OK, got experience and learnt the ropes, then your able to chase a permanent job. Can be done, but you won't get rich....

Have same problem now! My earning capacity is at its highest when I sit at a desk and work with numbers all day. BORING? Yes!
So I can choose - fun career or fun pay packet!
Money isnt everything; but its right up there with oxygen!

Indeed Charlie. I say money doesn't make the world go around but it sure make's the ride alot more fun.

Why not work your arse off for a year or two and get a stack of cash behind you, then re-train. I know a few stoppers who work for thenselves and have done very well. Lots of work out their

At least you got a bike ya whinger! :violin:

You want new job... I want new job..... something that means I can afford a big muscle-cruiser to show up your rice-rocket :niceone:

Don't worry, coming around for a coffee in a mo......
And I have ciggies.

Heres an idea. Invent a helmet that lets you smoke a ciggie at speed and retire rich!

If you make good money,but hate the job, why don't you do it less,
Work for 3 days a week.
I quit my full time job because it was causing me to die,
Now I contract to the same company and make the same money for 8 hours that I used to make for 40
