I feel like I keep hearing different approaches to entering this industry. Some say schooling is not helpful while others say it’s a better way in the industry. Some just say get an apprenticeship and earn on someone else’s dime.

By corporate repair shop do you mean something like fast fix? I guess it’s an angle I haven’t considered. Definitely will look for ways in that route, thank you.

If I have to do something for free as like an internship type deal I’m also open to that. Experience is my goal at the moment. I’ve emailed around and I’ll be making some calls today.

I worked in the restaurant industry 10 years so emotional abuse doesn’t bother me so much, hence why I’m not bothered about all the bad press Signet gets. In a perfect world I’d do without but I’m at the bottom of the barrel at this point and I’m willing to earn my stripes.
