So I'm back to arbtalk after a year away,

 

This time last year I was made redundant from my job as groundsman, spent two months look for any job I can. Finally I got a reply from my local mcdonalds! I took the view that a jobs a job, and took it!

Since then I've worked hard and learned all I could, I got employee of the month and employee of the quarter too! The best bit came in December when I got put up for management. So not even been there a year yet and I'm a qualified shift manager! The trouble is the draw of tree surgery is calling me!

Ha ha, less shame in going to jail!

 

Only kidding, good for you mate, a jobs a job, needs must.

It took me 3 years shovelling coal and cutting grass from getting my felling ticket to getting a job as a trainee climber.

By that time I was in charge if the grass cutting squad, I took a pay cut and went for the job, 6 months later I started myself, that's over 15 years ago now.

Do the job you love, break free from Mickey Dee!!!!!

Good for you I say!!!!!!

 

Life's about making the most of the oportunities that come your way and not being to picky about what those oportunities happen to be!!!

I know the manager of a Tesco extra who worked his way up from the bottom in not much time. 100k a year plus bonus could be worth you making a side ways move in retail. Could be better than beating your knucles off in the rain for £10 an hour.
