What did you do before tiling?

[Dan]

I'm guessing we'll have a variety of previous career paths, I was in sales before tiling, and then back in to web sales and design. An unusual leap I know.

What about you?

[gaz4266]

[Dan]

Wow, a copper! Nice one. Did you do it for a while?

[Paul Sh]

Bus Driver, stuck there for another 3 months as they put me through my test. What a drag, even more so now i know i can do something else.

I passed it 3 months short of 2yr ago but they paid for it, if i leave within 2yrs i owe them the money back which is around £2000, they also take £5.00 per week out of my wages for that 2yr then when the 2yr is up they give me the £5.00 per week back in one lump some plus a £100 bonus for staying with them, so in 3 months time i will be free and have the thick end of £600 in my back pocket. Roll on 3 months.

And you opted for tiling? I would have thought you'd be climbing the (police?) ladder after that length of time?

[wivers]
