Hello there ppl,

Just looking at different area`s to go into, if not i`ll probably join the family buisness as a market trader! [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] (ok money but not a good rep! [img]images/graemlins/ban.gif[/img])

I can do the following and was wondering what do you ppl think is the best area to look into?

Networking?
Installing computers?
Computer upgrades etc?
Installing POS and B/O?
Service engineering?
Ermmmm or look for training in something, if so what? [img]images/graemlins/spineyes.gif[/img]

Where do i look???
Done a 13.5hour day, should have been around 8-9 but the customer/project manager [censored] up again! muppits! [img]images/graemlins/biggrin2.gif[/img]

Cheers [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]

Hey Riz, market trader - money is money, and nobody who earns good money will knock you for it. You see it doesn't matter how you make it (within reason [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]), just as long as you make it and spend it on cars, oh and maybe some major tuning, and even possibly (if you have to) a house [img]images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img].

My tip, go with what you know if it can make money, keep it simple, with small aims or goals - they all add up.

All IT seems distressed at the moment, although small turnkey service providers are now making ground due to a lot of major corporations outsourcing they're requirements.

Currently big opportunities within providers supporting BT, Telewest, Marconi, Energis, Transco and Severn Trent Water [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] most of it relating to project management, quality management, technical field services (digital transmission),installation of digital customer premise equipment (CPE) and civil/overhead engineering crews.

(Un)fortunately [img]images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] most of the IT requirement for these sectors is directly outsourced to companies who don't make money, or it is supplied by the end user's approved IT service provider (who also doesn't make money). Been there, done it, made money, got out quick [img]images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Just my 2p [img]images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Yeah the whole IT market is gone bad....... and thats all i know......... market trading will be 6days aweek rather than 5day but the bonus side is more time off, and i`ll know im not far from home........... ive toured most of the uk and belfast, ballymean in ireland and am now getting tired, physically drained [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Thanks for the advice...... [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] oh and i am definatley going to spend it on cars....... maybe not the tuning side though........ [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
