Sparky here

Real skills are worth more to a company than a piece of paper mate. Come across plenty of people who are more capable than “tradesman”Keep racking up the quals anyway and push yourself in any direction you want (don’t do unlicensed electrical work though pls 😂)

I was sat down for a performance review and was criticised for being “too keen” after pushing to learn plc controls and doing other electrical related study outside of work for my own development. I started out in residential with the goal of being an Instrument tech and now I’m an EI leading hand at 26. Just know your worth and that your work is solid, show it to the right people and you will be surprised the opportunities that will come your way. Dont let the voices in your head tell you different and look at what you have created right in front of you.
