Project – aaaaaah, the great Vulcan Foundry. Fantastic video. It made me smile as I came in at the end of real engineering here and the idea of a works manager who had actually done any of the jobs and had experience like that was laughable – usually they were not that much older than me , were well-versed in management-speak and “managed” by creating a climate of fear and overseeing closure. It must have been great then, rather than the “experience counts for nothing” mantra now.
Anyway, enough of that. Retraining – with the benefit of hindsight I would do something practical and useful that is destined to last, eg plumbing, electrical engineering etc rather than having gone into financial services which is yet another dead-end I seem to have found. Oh well.
