You may not like what I'm about to say but if I were you I'd go back to uni and get a meaningful degree.Probably the most common degree and theres loads working in McDonalds.I remember my daughters english teacher's advice to her when she was 18."go to a proper uni and study a proper subject".So she went to Aberystwith Uni and studied english.If your still with me and not too pissed off with my cheek the irony is she now heads her own department as a busuness anylist at a commercial bank which on the face of it is strange when guys like you appear to have a qualification more suited to the role she's doing.

[Jimmy the Jock]

I changed my career path recently , bought a truck and went out onto our amazing motorways and roads . I think there a whole 4 miles of the m6 that arent being dug up at this moment.
The truck is doing so well I have ordered a new one.
I work of an app so choose when , where and how much I want for each job. Perfect.
From my cab I oversee my workshops and vehicle rental business.
Happier than I have been in years .
Were you interested in the driving job Gavin. You dont have to do nights out if you dont want to. It would still be decent money.

I remember you saying you had secured a huge contract just after brexit , has this situation now changed ?

I'd be more than interested if you weren't based in Cardiff, Jim. It would mean two hours a day travelling and £40 to £50 a week fuel. The firm I work for are only two minutes down the road. The pay is crap, but its local.
What are you hauling?
Sell it to me Jim.

There is absolutely a load of truth in this

I’d recommend history though

Theology and Religion at Oxford or Cambridge.

Theology and Religion at Oxford or Cambridge.

That’s a bit old school but it’s a good point.
A considerable number of CEOs of ftse and Wall Street quoted organizations have degrees in history whereas in central government and Canary wharf holding a first degree in classics from O or C is seen by some to be a passport up the corporate ladder

The question for me is what kiind if a person dies it make you
I’m not convinced by any argument I’ve read to date so far
