Post by Skanza »

So what do you guys here do whilst you train? Do you have a full time day job? (any examples) or do you go to university?

Just a bit curious that's all.

I'm a bum. No work for a few months now as all I wanted to do was train, but now, I want a job and nobody wants to give me one. Hopefully when I am 18 in 2 months I will be doing tree surgery until I get into the marines but in the mean time, just pointlessly giving application forms in to every business I can think of. The other day I put one in for Tescos :o, thats how desperate I am.
