Good to see lots of people coming to tiling late in life, I started as a tyre fitter, then auto mechanics, after getting sacked from the yt course (the only job I got sacked from!!, garage manager was a door nob), ended up a chef, then became a manager of catering units, then trained as a plasterer and now a tiler, the latter being what I focus on the catering pays the bills for now.
It's great after managing staff all day to only have myself to worry about.
