ian.cant Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Depending on your age and responsibilities the worlds your oyster as they say, you can do whatever you want to do. If your not sure hit the road do some travelling around the globe and see what lights your fire would be my advice. The armed forces aint for someone who isnt sure, thats a job that demands commitment to just pass the basic training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatonTE1 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 To be honest,I wish tae feck I could totally get away out of this because it bores the bejeezus out of me now.Having done very well to get where I am in 20 years learning and doing what I know best, I am now in the catch 22 of having a reasonable salary - I'm "stuck" because I am where i am at an age that I am and can't jump ship. If you haven't past the age of no return (ie - 40!) then go with your gut and find a job/career that you want to do. In hindsight and in my case? - primary school teacher where you get a reward of seeing realisation passing over a childs face! Sounds like you're just going through a 'fed up' phase. We all get it once in a while.No point jumping unless you're sure you're going to land somewhere better.

Armed forces???I'd go for the RAF or Navy myself - tbh,you're less cannon fodder in those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBS Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 TBH I'd get out now, think of it like this. 15 years ago CCTV was a lot more specialised, and it paid well. Now most engineers wouldnt know how to back focus a camera, set up gamma correction, a lot dont even seem to understand the concept of 75 ohms termination. they dont need to. They screw the camera on the wall, and point it in the right direction. Similar with Access Control. All the job satisfaction is going fast. 10 more years, every Sparks, Plumber, Decorator will be installing wireless kit. Your a young man, the worlds your Lobster. Run. Now !

But just ask yourself what is it they use to cause this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
