Really want to learn a trade but unsure of what to do. Anyone one here a tradesman that could recommend anything to me? I've had a go of plumbing and really liked it. Always wanted to try plastering for some reason. But I'm open to everything.
Cheers guys.

All trades are good trades. Brickies and roofers are more at the mercy of the weather than most others. Plasterers and painters can often end up being rushed at the tail end of a job where other trades have fallen behind but the completion date remains the same. If I had to make a choice I'd go for being a joiner. My dad was a shopfitter (or shoplifter as I said when I was wee) and that's pretty cool too, although everything is against the clock.

Spark.
Pissed me off daily but there's plenty work and it pays well.''It's always been just part of the culture. Growing up, for most working-class kids, is all about football, music or clothes. You might not have much money, but whatever you have got, you're going to look good.'' - Paul Weller

I served as a mechanic and loved it, but the thing you want to grt into is computers.
If your computer savvy id look at an it infrastructure apprenticeship, once served therebis a lot of money to be maid.

Get into the funeral business, laddie - the baby boomers are starting to drop off the cliff like lemmings.
Seriously!

If you're looking at more practical trades then Scottish Power are taking applications for craft apprentices. I'm currently in my first year with them and I'm loving it.
