gas engineering is the way to go, especially if there going to pay for you to get you corgi registered,how long is the contract with the company?
once you have finished your apprenticeship you'll be easy earning 25-30k a year going upwards later on in life depending on how you work,my mate is a plumber and corgi registered and only 19 and he can bring home 500-700 week depending on jobs they give him...i just hope when i get back into work i can get the company to pay for me to go through a corgi course aswell
dont let this slip through your hands, you'll be laughing you way through life if you can get into it
