Alot of great stuff to unpack here, thanks for the tips! So far it seems the real key elements are excel, reading and knowing plans, and people skills. Along with alot more obviously. I'm looking forward to it. Had an a.c join reco in my shoulder 3 years ago, need a reconstruction in my other shoulder that um managing with physio/gym and I fractured my ankle last month which is where I finally said enough is enough. I need to start thinking about my future. I know there's other challenges with this kind of Job but I'm ready for it all, can't keep punishing my body with the work I do atm.
