My OH is going back to college to learn joinery in September too!

We are both hope that the more skills we have to fall back on the easier it will be to find a job when we do emigrate!

Anyone else studying?
We try to be nice - it's much more pleasant to be here when people play well together.

My dear old Da went back to school after retirement, and got degrees in both computer science & statistics. I must have botten my obsession to detail from him. Your fields might not make for an exciting TV series, but they are fascinating in their own right.

Joinery - is that pipes or wood or what? Every so often I see want ads for joiners, but I don't quite know what they do.

I also like being a Jack (or Jill) of many trades/skills. It keeps me from getting too bored, and does help with finding work.
