So you want to be a clipboard prick?

You ever worked on site?

>>1779010
No experience being on a building or construction site.

But have experience working in the manufacturing and warehouse sector. It's this area I'd look at for jobs if I got the NEBOSH NGC. I've got a few contacts and plenty of opportunity in the area I live.

There is an NGC for Construction and Building sites for someone looking to do H&S in that area. Personally I don't want to do H&S in this sector as I haven't any experience on that sort of site.

Its the kind of job people get when theyve taken voluntary redundancy from some kind of industrial production role.

You'll be competing with people who have a nebosh and 28 years experience in the chemical engineering industry.

Good luck tho, sounds boring as FUCK

>sounds boring as FUCK
it really does

OP don't you have any passions or interests in which you can see yourself working? as much as /biz/ is full of shitposters and liars, there is a general sense of entrepreneurialism of people who know better than everyone else and want to go it alone (provided they're given step-by-step instructions).

your idea sounds like a job for someone who is soulless and uninteresting. i get that not everyone can have an interesting life, but you'll be doing this for 40 years, so why not try something exciting first.

reminder that your girlfriend will be against it because she likes the comfort of being boring and the safety of mediocrity. she'll be jealous if you chase your dream because she doesn't have the guts to. if you go for something exciting, it will be the eventual end of your relationship, but that might be a win-win situation, i don't know you though so i can't say.

live a little you sad sack and take the risk. your new mondeo and your two weeks in turkey can wait while you become who you are.

That is partly why I've booked in for a one day intro course. To get a more hands on feel for it and see what's needed for someone to break into the sector. I imagine it is pretty competitive?

I've worked in a job based on an interest/passion before. It was fun at first but the pay, hours and job security were poor. Not everyone is cut out to working in a job that's also their hobby or passion in life.

And not everyone knows what their passion in life is. Do you have a job related to something you're interested in?

I'm certainly not naive about the fact Health and Safety probably isn't the most exciting career choice. But right now I'm just happy to be a sad sack and settle for a decent paid job with prospects which apparently the H&S sector offers...

fair enough mate, was just being the doubles advocate. i do have a job doing what i'm interested in, but it wasn't easy and took a long time and lots of sacrifice, so i get that lots of people aren't willing to do that.

i know a lot of people who just drifted into jobs without thinking and never think of changing, so i was just being contrarian to possibly show something a lot of people don't think about. good luck going forward.

Cheers bud, I appreciate it.
