Any HGV drivers here?

[Nuttah]

Thinking about getting a HGV license, I have been self employed for the past 10 years but i am unable to continue doing what i am doing for much longer, Looking at the current job market for somebody like me with no other qualifications, skills or experience for 10 years it puts me pretty at the bottom of the pile of every pile of CV's.

I just turned 33 and i feel it would be a good idea to do something to make my self more employable, HGV license came to mind, but the idea of driving something so big is extremely daunting, part of me even wonders if i will even be able to do it! I literally only pondered this idea this morning, i am going to start doing some research today but thought it would be a good idea to ask on here if anybody has any experience in this field, would love to hear anybody's experience of first time driving a HGV and how daunting it was etc and how it got easier it got or if it wasn't as hard as they thought etc.
