PeeWee Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 All depends really, if cash now is wanted & you dont have a steady relationship then the rigs.If you want a better future then medicine isnt a bad choice with a career to follow in good time.

BIG STU Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 The rigs are good, Im doing alright out of it, although not all jobs pay £50k... if you were fully qualified mech tech then yeah you would get around that. To get that to start you would have to work at it!! Start on designate / apprentiship level and work up ...still around £20k + with a good company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret-Si Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 its what u want yourself....as peeps have said here, myself i'd only be 9-5 cos of my family, if my life was differnt 7 yrs ago i would have gone for the rigs. but medical profession is always your best bet in life!
