Over 4 years.
Hated the last 3 of them 
Been here 1.5 years, starting the think the same again.
I want another career, but sucks not knowing what to do. I'd LIKe to be an American USAF pilot. Not much hope there. Or go to Africa and study animals and behaviour, that would be so cool, but no qualifications.
Was looking at jobs at NASA, yeah, keep dreaming
IT skills are so boring, i need some adventure.

I'm feeling exactly the same. Ok pay can be good in IT, but i really dont enjoy it. Wanted to be a fireman, but failed the medical due to a spinal injury. Same deal with Police and RAF.
Would love to be a bricky or garden landscaper No quali's but i'm not that bad at it - had a lot of practice when i was younger

Sound like me tbh. Police would be good, but lame pay and hours. Would have to be a biker or in Traffic though, hardest things to get into.
Garden landscaper would be cool, or an AV installer. Get to bash out walls n stuff to fit cabling. That wouldn't be so bad, but would have to own my own and do it myself.
Engineer, working on huge construction sites, but again, qualifications.
My IT friends are fedup of IT, im fedup of IT, i've had mates who had degrees, who left IT to become a chippy (dad owns his own large business).
So your not the only one fella. Many people i've know are the same.
Sucky ass bit is I took a huge pay cut to come work out here, so im on bugger all now too But it is much more relaxed and easy, good commute etc..
Its jsut a wage earner though, im not interested really.

PS, if anyone wants to invest a cool £250,000 though into my Italian classy motorcycle dealer, Ducatis, Benellis, MV's, Bimotas etc, then feel free to drop me a PM. Found an awesome property (shut down Vauxhall dealer). just need the cash.
Old man does servicing, I do sales and promotions, advertising, customer relations etc

A computer is jsut a fancy wratchet.
Its just a tool. I just like playing with tools, not using them

You have to tell Theo Paphitis why he should give you some of kids inheritance if you get on there. Thats what he always asks
Deborah gets in a strop then says she is out.
Duncan Bannatyne talks in tongues. No one actually knows what he is saying.
Good luck

You need money to start with though.
Most people suffer with the financial side.
I.E If I asked for £50,000 for a 20% share of the business, where am I going to fund the other £200,000 to put in myself?
Hi Dragons, can I £200,000 for an 80% share in my business please
Thats why that "mental hospital theme park" idea failed. They wanted like £200,000, but didn't have a clue where they palnned to get the other £800,000 they wanted to value it at £1million

Graphic design (Promo Layouts, Websites, PR Brochures etc), done lots in the past for previous company i worked for and play in my spare time, but without qualifications no one will even look at you. Would need to do media etc and then even a design course at uni....and then try and get into the bottom of a company. Mish tbh
