Comment	You need to do a course like [this](https://energytechnicalacademy.co.uk/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIgKy95anP_wIVGdrtCh0XkANSEAAYASAAEgKbaPD_BwE) They come at great expense. There is no guarantee of a job at the end of it. There is no guarantee you will enjoy it after spending so much money. I know a few guys that have been on courses like this. Some of them did come out the other end with decent paying jobs, one went on to start their own company (that failed in the end and he went back to being an employee of an established business). I’ve heard of people getting into the course, finding out it isn’t for them then having to cut their losses, having already paid up. You need to be a bit of a grafter for this type of thing. Hearing from boys on these courses that there are too many people thinking they are walking in to a £35k-£40k job in 6/12 months.
