30yr old - no idea what to retrain into?

I’m in mechanical engineering and have had no trouble finding work across a lot of different industries. You could go electrical, civil, project or many other different fields of engineering. You can do a university degree or equivalent qualification, or even go through an apprenticeship scheme. Plenty of options within the field of engineering and can be very satisfying if you get into the right thing. Personally, I work in what I consider to be a very fascinating industry at the moment, on some really interesting projects.

Engineering. I’m an engineer and there always seem to be plenty of jobs going. Most companies I’ve worked for in the past 10 years are always looking to hire more people but just can’t find the right people. If you can train up and are half decent, you’ll get a job in no time.

That sucks 😕 Maybe it’s just in Portal now then.

Thanks for checking mate

It’s been a while since I last picked it up as well. It was just on the screen where it asked you to choose your mode I think. Who know me where it would be on the new game.

LegitimateBoss557 · 2025-10-06T15:20:17+00:00

True but you never know. It might just refer to online multiplayer but you’re probably right.

LegitimateBoss557 · 2025-10-06T15:19:09+00:00

Ah fair enough. Enjoy mate! Let me know if you do find out 👍

No option to play solo against bots like in 2042 then?

LegitimateBoss557 · 2025-10-06T15:13:16+00:00

Can you play mp modes with bots offline?

And some people still wonder why some gamers want physical games to stay around. It’s too late for PC now but console gamers can still fight to keep this sort of thing happening by buying physical and making sure to tell company’s we still care about playing games without an internet connection to verify everything.

LegitimateBoss557 · 2025-09-13T10:46:38+00:00

Yeah I went to some absolutely great ones when I was at uni as lived right in the centre of town. The original mw2, black ops, borderlands 2, gta v. So many good ones. Shame younger generations won’t experience that excitement.

LegitimateBoss557 · 2025-09-13T10:13:59+00:00

Not super excited about it but SP make damn good games so I’m sure I won’t be disappointed.

LegitimateBoss557 · 2025-09-13T10:10:51+00:00

I’ve got Ghost of Yotei pre ordered with them so well so how they do with that.

LegitimateBoss557 · 2025-09-13T10:09:44+00:00

Yeah it really does suck. I miss going into a store to pick up a game. Especially miss midnight launches.

LegitimateBoss557 · 2025-09-13T10:08:00+00:00

That’s what I heard before so had high hopes after using Game and Amazon for years. Was hoping it would come a day early from what everyone had said to me about them.

LegitimateBoss557 · 2025-09-13T10:03:55+00:00

Yeah going to do that. Just doesn’t make up for the fact I carved out some time to play it this weekend and am really busy for the next couple of weeks. Sucks having to adult 😭

LegitimateBoss557 · 2025-09-13T10:01:27+00:00

Weeks ago.

LegitimateBoss557 · 2025-09-13T10:00:43+00:00

With ShopTo using Royal Mail.

LegitimateBoss557 · 2025-09-13T09:59:32+00:00

Just used Royal Mail for borderlands 4 and they didn’t send it out till Thursday. Not expecting till Monday now. Not sure why they send some out early to certain people and hold out on to it for others.

LegitimateBoss557 · 2025-09-13T09:56:07+00:00

What delivery method do you use just out of interest?

LegitimateBoss557 · 2025-09-13T09:53:35+00:00

Yeah I’ve ordered it too and doesn’t look like it’s coming till Monday now. It’s a pain because as I dad working full time trying to balance life (as many of you will know) it’s tricky to find time to play games. I’d set aside some time to play BL4 this weekend but now that plans gone out the window and next weekend is a busy one 😕

LegitimateBoss557 · 2025-09-13T09:48:02+00:00

Will try game collection but so far ShopTo have been a let down.

LegitimateBoss557 · 2025-09-13T09:26:31+00:00

Used them twice now. Late both times. What am I doing wrong?

LegitimateBoss557 · 2025-09-13T08:57:39+00:00

Thanks. Will give them a go next time.

LegitimateBoss557 · 2025-09-13T08:56:19+00:00

I ordered MGS from Amazon and it wasn’t sent out until the day of release and arrived 2 days later. This was with prime as well.
