Discuss Advice for somebody considering beginning the journey to learning the trade in the The Welcome Forum area at TilersForums.com.

Hi all,

Sorry if this kind of post isn’t allowed or is frowned upon. I feel a bit unfulfilled and have dreams of emigrating over the next 5-10 years.

To help scratch the itch of feeling unfulfilled and to make my dreams of going over the pond a reality, I’m looking to learn a trade. I really fancy tilesetting but I’m looking for advice from those in the game.

Please don’t think this is some naive post from somebody ignorant enough to believe it’d be easy.

I’m just looking for advice on how to get started. The pros and cons of the job, whether you’d recommend it as a career choice and any other help or information you’d be willing to give.

Thanks in advance for any input.
