Sam maybe I am barking up the wrong tree , but have you thought about voluntarily work to gain experience. On a different subject my son who is at university studying engineering has had to get a work placement by volunteering to work for sweet FA. Maybe this could be a way to showcase your driving skill shadowing an experienced driver or sharing the driving when empty. Just a thought if you have nothing going on. It could look good on you CV.

I am pleased no-one has jumped on this post thinking it was a good idea.

The difference is that as a graduate engineer your son WILL be able to command the high salary with benefits if he is any good, meanwhile the best driver in the world will still be on minimum wage or thereabouts!

Sam is not 20 yet, he has another 40 to 50 years to gain his stripes in an artic.

Sam. your ambition was to pass your C+E before the end of this year, Well Done. you have done that, so just keep doing what you are doing without selling your sole and a job will appear. That is how we all got where we wanted to be!

here’s another fish

Blimey in 50 years he’ll be retired and according to all the ‘advice’ which I’ve heard the jobs won’t ‘appear’ you’ve got to go out looking for them.Ironically I’ve been blamed for doing what you’re advising when in fact I actually did the opposite but there’s still no guarantees that anyone will ever be able to get exactly ‘where they want to be’ in their working lives. :unamused:
