I'd be happier if I was rich but at the present moment I'm happy just chipping away at it ?

Does it make any difference? I had never been asked to produce a cert in 62 years until the other day and that was just a glance. You can either do your job or you cant.

Does it make a difference? Guess that heavily depends on what you plan on doing with your life and the job you wish to do.  I certainly need them for my C.V. 

 

PS, 62 years working is a fair stint.  Or are you counting from the time you where born? I can't imagine you where asked to produce that many qualifications at Nursery....

If you work for any council,large construction firm,rail,electric etc
You will have to show in date tickets at every induction. Employers often will want a copy for filing.
I show mine about once a month now.

I have a wallet full of tickets Saul, no one has ever asked to see any of them and we work for a fair few big names . I found my original CITB machine ops certs the other day, A4 laminated things and no expiry dates, long  before the introduction of the credit card sized tickets.

Been asked once on a Kier job a couple of years ago, one of the tickets they wanted I hadn't refreshed, it got the stage of do you want the job doing, they did, I got on site.

Hmmm I expect there are arb consultants with L6 diploma not earning as much as the savviest tree cutters and landscapers with no quals that took more than a week to pass. Bill Gates, Zuckerberg, both dropped out of their degree courses. Some people are smart enough to find their own way.
