With life and job and mam?
Right here we go
i'm 17 and i've been doing a brick laying course at Newcastle collage for a year now just passed my level one.
had trouble finding an apprenticeship finally some man can in and said there's two apprenticeshipsps going at out company so i contacted them the same day and they said come on site for a week and we will se if we will give yapprenticeshiptiship. So i went on this weeks trial but only went for 2 days then qreasonsaasons why i quit
hands are all cut adn rough after 2 days
all i'm doing is lifting heavy bricks and muck
if i geapprenticeshiptiship i would only get £2.30 an hour which i would have to live off couplecupple of years
8 hours a day which will come out to around £18 a day.so much hard work for £18
and the reason why i quit i don't enjoy anything about what i'm doing. Its took me a year to figure it out.
i feel no sense of enjoyment at all.
so anyway i called the guy up that put me on this and told him i can't do this no more. Now my mshoutingutiing at me for quiting because she won't get her taxt credits no more whitch she relies on.
i don't know what i should do?
Recently i bought myself a nikon camera because i love takig photos on life. I'm such a chilled layed back sort of person. Thats why i hate bricklying.anyway i was thinking of taking a photography corce but i researched that photograpthy is not well paid job and un reliable so i'm unsure once again.
should i get a little job a asda or somethig?
or should i do photography corce and have nothig to fall back on.
need help any surgestions
I have no idea what you are talking about. Other than, went to school, found a job, didn't like job.
Just get regular job and shut up.
You need to do more research before you join a course. Bricklaying is highly physical labour - it's hard work, and you'll get all cut up. At least you realize it's not for you now. When you consider your next course, do more investigation of what the work actually is like, before you join. Learn from this experience.
All apprenticeships are very low paying, because they're doing you a favor by taking you on and giving you experience in the field. They aren't going to pay you well, because the reality is, even after your level one, you have no idea what you're doing. That's the reality.
Yes, get a job at ASDA or wherever you can. Use this time to investigate your other options in life, and what the work is really like - just as you've done for photography. It's true that photo is not a secure life. Take a bit of time, work, and think through your options before you move into your next course.
I would go for the job at Asda and do an evening class in photography to see what's it like.
Then if you feel you have the talent for it, then look into going to college for some qualifactions.
I go to Newcastle College too haha!
The college has 'summer schools' of different subjects you can go to (I'm going to a health care one soon) which usually last 2 days and give you an idea of whether you will like the subject or not.
I think you should do a diploma in photography.
What's better - doing something you love, making little money but enjoying life?
Or doing something you hate, making lots of money but hating your life?
I know what I'd rather do.
The diplomas are usually 3-4 days a week, you could find a part time job for weekends to keep you going for now.
If you went to uni to do photography you could start up your own business or work for a large photography company, doing something like wedding and party photos
