Its only since buying the pug that I've become more interested in doing repair or maintenance work myself, if anything is beyond my level (that being the practical, theory I understand perfectly) I'd much rather someone experienced do it on my behalf so I don't land my 306 in a ditch somewhere after tampering with it.
My very first job was in fact a HGV fitter apprenticeship in a large vehicle depot. Unfortunately I was pretty much forced in to it by my parents so at the time, I bloody hated it with a passion. Now, down the line I'm thinking to myself damn, I wish I stuck around and made something of it. I'll blame a turbulent home life for that.
I work with electronics (service lab) now in telecommunications / data installation. No qualifications, college or uni but at the end of the day 90% of it is common sense, communication, theory and problem solving. With the right technical data to hand and an open mind to learn, its fairly simple to transfer your knowledge in to different fields.
