  • Although, on reflection, my route in was a bit odd.

    I was a sound engineer for bands and venues and knew enough about LX to do the job. I got a job at Brighton Conference Centre in my 30's and they wanted me to be a sparks as well so sent me on the 3 year C&G course at full wages.

    So it can happen.

    My advice though is go for commercial and Industrial. House bashing is a huge pain in the arse.

  • House bashing is a huge pain in the arse.

    This. avoid commercial house building at all costs. Its a race to the bottom with shark like pms / site agents that think nothing of sending small companies to the wall by not paying them so that they can recover a shortfall in their budget.

  • Yep Bobbo is right.

    And @Airhead @Mr_Sworld are right about house stuff as you end up trying to fix other peoples fuck ups.

  • Such as that time I Idiotically but accidentally drilled into a lighting cable one Good Friday. The sparky that came round had to dig the pierced cable out from behind a wire mesh embedded in the plaster, strip the wires and fit a fistful of WAGOs, then left me to make good, which involved a lot of non-slump filler and the rest of the Easter weekend. Happy memories.
