So after nearly 6 years in the infantry, I need to get out and do a job change. Sick of the ideology in the military and the mess about with family life, when you cant get time off when family member is dying (happened to best mate not me).
So, I now need some new ideas. Currently on 1,4k a month after tax, so im looking to make roughly 2k-2,5k after tax. I know its a big hope, but since I am used to being deployed on operations for 7months at a time and not seeing family in scotland for 3months at a time when in the UK, im not too fussed about socially friendly job.
I was looking at a job in the same category as mine, in the way that we do tours. So oil rigs were going through my mind as a possible job.
Ive got 4 a levels, 10 gcse's and nvq. No degree and dont really want to go to university as I do enjoy working and learning in my own time. Im very hands on, couldnt do a 9-5 sitting at a desk clicking a keyboard. Understandably this is where the money is, but its just not for me. I dont mind it being part of the job, but I want to be outside the office. Happy to work 8-12hours a day aslong as I get the pay to accept it.
Any ideas? Anyone here earning 2,5k doing similar jobs such as close protection/cpa, oil rig etc. Need some more ideas and some personal experiance.
As ive found with my job, what the recruitment office tell you, isnt what the job is.
