i dunno saw their training on the tv they go through fucking torture its like sas stuff haha sum of those guys are hard as nails i can barely run a few mile

I speak from experience having spent 22 years there.
physically it takes about 3 months to get up to speed,
the hardest part is the psychological stuff.
It takes a lot of doing to make people from so many different cultures and languages to think and act as one,plus there is learning the linguo which can be tricky.

After that , plain sailing !

Maybe do a course of some sort, How do the FAS courses compare to the Regional college courses ???????

Starting your own business would also be something to look into and plenty of help available.

ffs thats unreal what does he do ?

At that time it was an Irish Government office type job in the US so no need for a visa , over the years a lot of that has changed but hes now a US Citizen , nothing fancy at that time as far as office work goes but as soon as he got a start no stopping him, so really what im saying is grab any chance that comes along cause you never knows what it might lead to

hey hows it going

in 2003 i done a springboard course , it was all inclusive trip to canada and done a ecdl up in belfast it was amazing , if not for a career its worth the experience ,

there is feck all jobs out there at the moment but it is starting to pick up so hang in there ,

from 16 to the age of 25 i was employed on and off , when i was off i was in colege in canada

i got let go in 2008 had some savings and traveled 2010-2011

maybe go do a college course , do a intern you get 50 ontop of your doll i know its not much but some do give jobs at the end i know my friend is working now and hes in a good paying job ,

you could start your own buisness

there are many things you could do you seemed very busy for a while there take some you time to find out what YOU really want to do

yamser, if you dont mind me asking, what is the computer course you are doing at the moment.

I have a brother who is a qualified electrician who is doing information technology in an regional college due to having no work now.
He did do a 1 year course in computer about 6 years ago and now is back to full time study, its tough he says but he is doing ok
