Default What did you do before tiling?

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?

Unlucky mate. Are you still doing your test so you have something to fall back on or what?

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.

Wow!

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