The old soapbox is looking bit battered I admit
Just been chatting to an old schoolfriend of mine - the one who became a builder at 16. He has a sideline in putting in kitchens over weekends for £400 cash... All he has is a bag of tools, a van and a mobile...
He likes to do one a month and turns down work constantly. He then has £400 "silly money" for the next 3 weekends.
Not forgetting he makes more in the week than I do anyway being a chippy.
£400 a weekend for putting in IKEA kitchens for people like me who barely have a screwdriver to their name. The tax man knows 'nowt naturally.
Thats half your ATPL exams. Thats 4 hours basic flight training. Thats your Class One medical.
Thats how much your first year books will cost on an Engineering degree.
