I have to say that just because a plumber knows all there is to know
it does not necessarily mean he will do a good job,
Some plumbers think what is the point of doing a good job when the person he is doing it for would not know what a good job was,
Even if a job is being supervised at every stage some will still try to pull a fast one,
I guess it is human nature, but before you become cynical like me you still have a good few years work in you, and the fact that you have taken the trouble to do a course must surely stand you in good stead,
If I was a fast tracker just starting on the tools I would try to avoid "jobbing"
and get myself a job on a big plumbing firm doing multiple installations of plumbing
and heating once you have done one or two the rest are easy and you hardly need
think about it but the repitition allows you to fine tune your skills, you will come to understand about plumbing and heating in a more rewarding less frustrating way,
If you said to your prospective boss, I have done all the courses now I want to learn
how it is actually done, I get to work on time, I dont chatter too much, and I can get stuck in, and you really mean it, how could anyone turn you down,
If you cant get a job on site work, do not think for one minute that because you are young and inexperianced that you can not make a valuable contribution to a jobbing
company
on the contrary, for example how can a manager/boss ask his top plumber (encyclopedia of all plumbing knowledge) to rush out to capture an emergency job, he would tell him to
sod off, thats where you come in,he has no problem asking you to go, (assuming you have a licence to drive)you get there,turn the water off start draining down, dosent
matter if you dont know what to do next,you can allways phone for advice, the most important thing is you have captured the job, point taken??
