Anybody traded their job in for something completely different. I was a beekeeper for 17yrs before I left to become a bulldozer operator,something that I have always wanted to do since I was a wee kid.I also wanted to be a forest ranger, so jumped at the chance to work for DOC maintaining huts and tracks in the back country of southland, absolutely loved the job but after cave creek and all the restructuring that came as a result, it turned into a major paperwork nightmare so I went back to machinery.
For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him.Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

...apart from a stint when I was 17 and had just finished my carpentry apprenticeship in 1975, of driving around in Nth Queensland with a mad aussie carting sloppy old wild bulls and buffalo back to a boning room in Brisbane and then a few years on rigs in the Nth Sea in the early 80's, and doing a bit of time in the cellars of British pubs,I have been self employed in my trade. Next march I have made it painfully aware to everyone that as I refuse to pay any sort of rort tax to some money hungry govt deptment to prove that I am a carpenter of some experience, I will be sliding out of the trade...its becoming too wearisome dealing with all the wankers and related bullshit in the building game anyway...not sure what happens after that...

I understand your reluctance but the actual level of knowledge and experience required to qualify as a LBP is very low. The application process/forms however, requires a ridiculous amount of paper hoop jumping and puts people off.
However you don't have to be a LBP to work as a carpenter. You can work with or under someone who has an license. A lot of chippies are opting to go that way.
Political correctness: a doctrine which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd from the clean end.

Fuel tanker driver for the NZ owned outfit. Mind you, after 12 yrs of this, due for a change in the next year or so. Tried the indoor thing, done logistics for a multinational, but a couple of years of that was long enough.
The shiftwork is both good and bad, if it's fine when my days off are during the week it's cool to head out on the bike when few riders are out and about.
On days like today, truckin' back over the Rimutaka Hill towards Welly, dozens of bikers heading north don't even understand the concept of staying on their own side of the flippin' road. Must be weekend warriors? Hey, if I can keep 20 metres of bigrig between the lines....rant over.

...I'm not that unhappy about hanging up my tools...the fact that anyone and I mean anyone can be a LBP is one of the reasons I dont want to be involved...I take great pride in my work and in my trade and hate the way it is going. I have made sure the bloke who has worked for me for twenty plus years is registered and ready to go out on his own...the other side of the coin is ...I now have chippies knees, back, elbows and wrists and my next significant birthday is the 60th one...fuck work...I understand your reluctance but the actual level of knowledge and experience required to qualify as a LBP is very low. The application process/forms however, requires a ridiculous amount of paper hoop jumping and puts people off.
