getting a hgv licents is relly very cheap. What !! ■■■■■■ !! talking ■■■■ !! what a prat !! £2000 odd quit just to get payed £6.50 an hour 
. Well heres my agument.
my generation were some of the first youngster to be blessed by the education for all under the new labour gov back in the late 90’s I was 18 and all my friends were too. I never took the loans that were available at the time to go off and get a golden degree in thousands of diffrent micky mouse couses available. and thank god I did’nt.
many of my friends did go of to uni with there heads filled with the promises from tony blair that after years of training and £ 10,000, £ 20,000 of deaut monted up thay would all get amazing jobs in hight places saving the world and getting plumb pay packets that would pay off there massive deats in no time.
Well last year I went to a reunion gathering of all my old frinds witch I hadnt seen for so many years. every one of them now holder of the golden degree or as it’s otherwise know “money in the bank”.
well there I was a faild g.c.s.e school leaver who can’t spell to good even now. the only one in the room who had’nt go off to be a captian of industry in one feild or another by getting a golden degree.
Well to my surprize the only words being spoken were not that of earning big money in plumb jobs in the feild of work thay had trained 4 or more years in at the cost of £ 10,000 plus. But rather the converstion all night was that of the total unemployment each and every one of them were in. yes almost everyone of 15 or so people in the room were unemployed. none of them could find jobs in what thay were trained in ! some had go on interviews but were told they did’nt have any expirants " where have we heard that one befor ■■? ".
there were afew lucky one in the room who had found work. One a holder of computor scients who was now dressing up as a beaf eater bear and standing waving flags for tourist at a castal for min wage part time on weekends. the other who had gained a degree in journalism at the cost again of tens of thounds of pounds and had got a job as a junior office assistant at a small local newspaper for £ 15,000 odd a year, bascily starting at the bottom and having to work her way up the ranks witch in truth was a job she could have got 10 years ago when leaving school and if she had she proberly would be 10 years farther into her carrear then she is now after wasting massive amounts of money and time for a near worthless golden degree. another learnt fluwent chinises and stright after getting her degree got pregent and is now living on the goverment benifit. she been clever relly it means she every have to pay off her massive deat. not that theres any jobs speaking chinises anyway.
I came away from the evening thanking my lucky stars I did’nt have the g.c.s.e all thoses years ago to go to uni. a hole generation of young people had been led up the garden path on the promise of a rich and easy life by investing in a degree. and so far there all flat broke on there asses.
I may never earn great money driving lorrys and some are welcomb to think i’m mad for going into it. But the truth is the cost of a lorry licents is chicken feed compared to what so many have forked out on for worthless degrees. time wise too a lorry licents is quick to get. a coulpe of weeks and alittle luck and its yours. a degree 4 years minium.
getting work driving a lorry maybe very hard after you’v passed and getting better money may take many years. but I think you’v got a better chance of getting a job and better money some day holding a lorry licents than holding a degree in film directing. all this makes the costs of driver cpc, hazzard perspetion, thory, medical, £1000 pratical…etc training fees seem maybe not quit such a raw deal after all.
anyway if the lorry driving dose’nt work out I know a man that can sort me out with a bear suite and a coulpe of flags.
