Hello all,
Well, its time for me to take some big decisions. I have been working abroad for the past year, and finally have to return to the UK in the next couple of months. However, I do not wish to return to my old office based role due to my experiences during the last year, and therefore am considering a huge move in my life.
I never gained anything more than a highschool education, and even though I have worked my way up to a good position within my present company, I have always felt that I could do so much more with the right qualifications.
I have now set my heart on completing not a degree, but going to college and taking a two year vocational course in electrical engineering, which will enable me to gain employment as a technician or installation electrician. The aim I have is to continue in employment for two to three years and gain experience and further qualifications, and then start a contracting business.
I am 24, have no debts whatsoever, and due to the fact that I have been careful I have approximately one years current salary in the bank. I also have ideas for a couple of small business's which I plan to run together with my girlfriend, which will hopefully help the financial situation even more. I am also considering returning to live with my father, as we get along very well and he is more than happy to help me as I helped him both emotionally and financially during a difficult period he had last year.
So, I think in my own mind I am set. Does anybody care to offer me words of experience and encouragement, or rip apart my logic and show me the error of my ways?
Thanks in advance for your consideration.
