Saying that with the recent news I might as well forget about winding down and accept the fact that I'll be flat out until I pop my cloggs.

Welcome to the real world mate, when you stop it’s over so keep going as long as possible even if it’s just for your own sanity and well being, a man without a mission a reason or a purpose is just waiting to die in reality, we are heading for a recession  so once again beware the 2k a week bullshit, my son and son in law both drive plant from bendie dumpers to 360s and neither earn over £20 an hour and since the virus things have gotten worse on site not better, so be realistic about it, everything happens for a reason

The same happened when they built the motorways.

HS2 won't help the economy as much as the motorways have not even in the slightest.

But it is progress no doubt.

If I was to do the 360 training how hard would it be to find work? 

I would be coming out of a factory so have no experience at all.

There is plenty of 360 work for low pay especially in recycling places etc.

You should be able to get a job with limited experience in such places.

As you will just be sitting there in 1 spot loading a hopper feeding a conveyor belt etc.

But you will be gaining experience.which you will need to do formation work or digging footings or working with a pipe laying gang working with 10mm tolerances etc. 

It's allways better to start on the ground as in a ground worker working with a 360 So you can see what's required from the machine etc.

But just go for it would be my advice.

The only thing holding you back is your good self.

I’d suggest registering with a few agency’s, agency work pays ok money but also leads to further employment, as many firms use agency’s to find staff now makes it easier to sack them if they are shite,
