New career

[Newby]

In the next few years my career in the army will be over after a long 22 years, Iam looking at this as a new career...

 

Would you say this is a wise move or not?

[Ian C]

Not really to be honest.

There are easier ways of loosing your mind and money

It's becoming a saturated market but I'm not gonna piss on your chips mate. It's my understanding that you'll get a resettlement handout and places like Kingswood training near me do MOD Arb packages where they train you in all of it; climbing, chipper etc etc.

Not massively long so crack a course like that then get some experience in an Arb firm. Apply to be a brash monkey and work your way up (if you like it!)

Great job if you are financially secure or have a Mrs that earns a decent wage!

That's a tad unkind, I would say 22 years of service has earned him the right to call it a re training grant rather than a hand out.

Hi Newby,

 

There are a lot of people on here who will be able to give you advice, and have a wealth on knowledge.

 

If you want to speak with someone who did 7 years in the Army and got into this business, ping me a PM and I'll do my best to answer anything.

Not intended to be unkind just worded it wrong! My pals coming up to his 22 years that's how I know, but forgive my terminology!

I thinking of giving it up! Electrician is the way forward

[Mark Bolam]

I fancy physiotherapy.

I reckon I could make a good living just working on myself!
