Sorry to drag up an old thread!
I'm one of these fast trackers and i'm trying to find work with a Plumber in Manchester. I've had very little luck so far and any that are willing to take me on will only pay £150ish a week and with a mortgage to pay, that is just not enough, and i'm only 25
It has to be put into a little perspective. I can't speak for everyone, but i'm not going into it expecting to earn £40k a year. Just wanted to change to something I would take satisfaction from and earn a comfortable wage.
I am happy to work for a lowish wage for a year or two (£7+/hr), but i am coming to the conclusion that i might not get the opportunity to do this, so i'm considering 'going it alone' doing small jobs such as washing machines, outside taps, sinks, bathrooms etc and maybe stuff like tiling and flooring etc (not plumbing related i know, but needs must)
