Apprentice help !!

[AHPP]

When I was younger I (naïvely) kept at crap jobs thinking that I'd eventually be rewarded, trained, moved up etc. Never happened. In fairness, it could have been because I wasn't good at the work but that was not the case.

With one particular job, I passed up the opportunity to travel and do some very cool stuff because I "wanted to see how this job would turn out". I was doing two or three days a week for under £10/hour... That's my biggest regret to date.

I now tell kids that the good thing they think they're onto is probably not that good (you know deep down) and they shouldn't be scared to drop it for something potentially better. If the grass doesn't turn out to be greener, you can easily get another mediocre job.

 

I've got angry at myself again writing this. Learn from my fuckwittery, get out to Germany and slay some trees!

Tree work in Germany in the 80's... Now that must have been an "education", if there ever was one.

Not everyone can stick it out abroad. I did a stint in europe in the 90's, one thing led to another and i came back three years later, richer wiser and with m8's i still visit when i'm over there.

 

If you can, give it a go.
