Ive decided to become a doctor, 6mth online course and im ready to go..

 

Best way to learn anything is hands on.

 

Calling uerself a builder.... pffft :couch3:

Bahahahha... I dont wanna be a builder though that's the thing hahaha... its just part and parcel u get ya builders licence on the way.

And fyi... u study for 6 years before even doing anything hands on to be a doctor.... so your point makes 0 sense

You definitely benefit from apprenticeship if you are going to be on the tools with a tool belt and steel caps.

There's so many things that ya learn on site that ya don't learn from text books. 

But if your going down the project management path well you shouldn't have to many problems. 

 

We do renovations and my boss has a Cert 4 builders license but he is definitely no tradesman. He is the project manager and stays away from the tools. That's what he has got me and another bloke and a couple of other lads for..

So a builder you maybe Fluff just without the pie crust flakes in ya beard or super stinky arm pits. Hahaha :mosking:

Shes preggas, she has the arm pits! 




I go opposite when preggas... im perpetually cold... like I could be in a heater 24/7 with a quilt and still be cold lol.


Yeah I dont have much desire to pick up tools as such... I think the benefit is ive been fairly involved with my current job with trades and on sites and also having tranny banger as a husband whos full tradie spec ... I have no fulse illusions what site life is like.
But yeah I dont feel like my brains are best used hanging onto an angle grinder cutting some excess steel the stealies fhhhukd up.

I really wanna persue the path im already on. Ive run several tenders already for my current job and managed projects etc. With two large scale jobs on here atm it makes it easier to be involved.

Plus it helps that the two PMs are great... ones from a drafting background and one owned his own home building mob in NSW for years and was a tafe lecture in PM and construction.

I still think having the ability to jump on the tools when necessary is a great thing to have though...

I have no doubt my first job out the box (since I dont wanna move to the eastern states to take the job already pretty much handed to me on a platter once ive finished studying which is in commercial construction) will be working as a Site foreman or a pm for some home builder here.. not the large scale I would like but I dont really wanna have to travel with young kiddies... plenty of time for that later.

My missus is from Tassie so she's immune from the cold.

 

Last summer she couldn't even go outside when it was over 45, she almost fainted after 10 minutes.
