Career shift at 27
Discussion
Good morning all.
So I've been a long time lurker on the PH forums and only recently looked at the Jobs and Employment sub forum (due to reasons I'll elude to shortly). I'm amazed by the wealth and breadth of knowledge on here so have decided to hedge my bets and see if anyone could assist me.
I'm a mechanic/vehicle technician. Been on spanners over 10 years and have been in a VAG main dealer for nearly 4 . Qualified as a service technician with said brand and have done some extra courses i.e hybrid and the performance side of the brand working towards my qualified technician 'award'. I have level 3 nvq in light vehicle maintenance and repair and I'm an MOT tester. I've always messed around with internal combustion and have a basic knowledge of small plant equipment but nothing official.
Basically I would like to get out of spannering. I used to enjoy it but unfortunately the main dealer rat race has killed any spark I had for the job and I'm thinking/looking for a new challenge. Obviously the job I'm in at the moment is fine for the time being, it pays my wages, but I'm definitely at that point where I would like to change.
What could people suggest, or have experience of doing this themselves? Any areas that I can transfer my skills to but also add to them with training?
Many thanks for every reply
