yer i want to do it for the money ive been thinking for a long time.... but will most probably go for electrician, but i think Motorbike mechanic would be the funnest love working on bikes , but heard that doesn't pay very good and pretty hard to get a trade in that all taken around my area..

Dont do something just for the money or just because its easy (not that electrical is easy and the schooling can be quiet hard). If you do something just for the money then it becomes boring and you dont want to go to a job for the next 30 odd years that you dont enjoy.

If you dont enjoy your job then find one that you do enjoy and the money will follow eventually. If your passionate about something and you really want to do it then dont worry that the money for the first few years is shit because once you have your qualifications then the options are endless if you are dedicated.

[wogtaz ryder]

Im a self employed carpenter/builder and Ive always been in this trade since I was 15. I was employing the apprentices and I just didnt have the patiance for them. Do something wrong once then thats ok coz its a mistake and u should learn from it, but do the same mistake twice in one day your an idiot and I dont have time for you so your gone.

Told ya im a hard bastard when it comes to work

Just learn from your mistakes and you will be fine. Too many people think mistakes are a bad thing but they are actually the best thing you can do aslong as you learn from them and NEVER MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE TWICE.

That is what helps give you experience and knowledge in your field.
