Jack Posted 9 July, 2012 Share Posted 9 July, 2012 Might have have a new position working on new major new wind farm projects, beats working behind a desk as a PBS, currently working with the best bunch of guys & girls ever and a great boss but the job as a qs is crap and very boring. Where abouts? We were set to head up to North Wales for a windfarm project, but it all went quiet. There's talk of it being back on in Jan 2013. Pain in the arse being on the road all the time but sometimes it's necessary for continued employment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only asking cos if/when I make my fortune I fully intend to help disadvantaged kids. I've been teaching since '94 & I've always worked in deprived areas out of choice. Since 2005 I've worked in post-16 & I wouldn't consider, despite some quite outstanding offers, going back to compulsory age teaching. Seeing how some people "survive" in quite desperate surroundings certainly makes me value my life, wife & kids even more. I consider it a vocation, not work.

Whereas you 'sail' a boat without an engine Err wrong, he claims to 'drive' a big SHIP, not a boat which would mean diesel electric propulsion so therefore more likely steers as well as satellite GPS navigation systems.

aintforever Posted 15 July, 2012 Share Posted 15 July, 2012 (edited) Graphic design. It's what I've wanted to do since I was a kid, still love doing it but now I'm fed up with staring at a computer all day. Plus the pay is OK but not great. Problem is I've ploughed a long specialised furrow and can't see how a career change can happen. Edited 15 July, 2012 by aintforever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commonly referred to in the business as doing the driving. The correct term is to conn the ship. Either the autopilot or a helmsman does the steering. Propulsion wise, the main means is Diesel Electric and yes GPS is a part of our navigation systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
