Hi all,
I am thin king about changing career and becoming a tiler and was wanting to get some info from some people in the job.
I am currently working for a bank but don't enjoy sting behind a desk. I want to do something with my hands and have done a bit of tiling in my house and really enjoyed the work and did a no bad job with a bit of help from the good old Internet. I also like the idea of working for myself. I am going to do one of the courses available then try and skill up a bit with small jobs before I go out on my own and pack the bank in. If i could get some feedback on the following it would be appreciated,
- what kind of annual income are you guys making from inexperienced to experienced and for how much work?
- thoses of you who have gone out on your own after doing a course how long has it taken you to get up and running?
- Do you enjoy the work you do or would you swap it for a cushy desk job in the bank if you could ?
- What is the best way to skill up apart from tilling everything i own. eg going about getting work with other more experienced tilers or just doing small jobs?
Any feedback appreciated .
