I am 24 and am going to be starting a Plumbing course in April

Level 2 = 6months
level 3. with employer = 6months/ maybe a year

So until im fully qualified it could be a while yet, am I too old to start or is this not that rare?

Its just Ive had a major drug problem since I left school which I have finally gave up but due to my drug problems I have no qualifications I have just worked in crappy lame ass jobs.
 
hell no !!!!there were people in the new jersey apprenticeship program in their 40's when i was going to school
and in nj it was 4 years apprenticeship, 1 year journeyman, then if you passed the exam you became a master plumber,

good luck with it,

sadly i got laid off right before becoming a journeyman, dickhead boss!!! and now there are no plumbing jobs, in the area fuck

but i am like a prodigy when it comes to heating systems, and boilers :)

How could you be asking if you are too old for anything at 24? lol

You're too old to be a child star. That's about it. Good luck with your course.
 
Cheers guys for the positive responses very good ta im just paranoid about my age feeling left behind if you get me.

but i know thanks to you lot im still young :)
 
off topic but its kinda ironic your name is bighooter,
90% of the class would go to hooters before hand
get drunk , do lines , pop pills
we would tip the waitresses good and drink a shitload for like 5 bucks


ahhhh plumbing school memories :)
 
lmfao i wish it was like that in England

Mate it is like that in England lol.

as everyone else has said no you are not too old to do it, I did a sparky course and there was a 50 some thing year old on my course :)
