 @ Marc
eel  you might need a bit of time, effort and thought to actually do something like that
if your a person (mebbe you are) that gives up after a few weeks and when things get hard, then mebbe you should stick to your current job
never looked into these sorts of jobs, but if your a dosser and like to just get along on what you know then give up.
if you actually have the intrest to do something with your life, try it
Edit: cant spell  i think reading eel's posts wore off on me

Hard worker means nothing without any qualifications. They won't want someone with nothing when there will be plenty of lads willing to put in the effort by going to college and working their way up.
Trust me you will be very very lucky if you get a job without any past bodyshop experiance. But like I said give it a go, pick up your yellow pages and have a ring around go see some people but if your serious about it you will HAVE to go to college and learn the trade.

If you do manage to get a job at a bodyshop without a qualification, they'll send you to college to get the qualification.
That's the best way to do it though, as you work in the bodyshop for a few weeks, then go to college for a few weeks, all through the year.
Speak to M Sutton on hre, he did that, and it worked out really well for him.
Send him a u2u, but he might not reply for a while, he'll probably be at work
