Hi mate, i've been a bricky for almost 4 years now and when i started out i was just like you and loved it. But a few years down the line i've found myself driving up and down the country for shit money, slowly murdering my back and wrists, getting laid off here there and everywhere and during the winter i get hardly any work due to bad/anything under 3 degrees weather.

Fair play to you though, all im saying is if i had my time again id be a plumber or and electrician.

thanks for the advice mate i know its going to be hard but every trade has it good and bad points one person on the course is 36 years old and in 4 years if i hated it i would only be 22 years old so not that i think i will but i could all ways learn a new trade :thumbs:

Fair enough mate. Its easy to get stuck in a rut though, if you decide it is for you and want to pursue it then you can always make your own business out of it. Just dont want to be stood on a scaffold at 7.30am in january at 60 years old lol.

Good luck and hope all goes well
