    My sector is so boring no one else will consider it.

      Reliability & safety - want in?

      Took me 10 years to learn and I did not even know I was in training at the time before getting into contracting - requires a combination of skill sets.

              Yup just checked, indeed the market in the UK is dead. Germany looks better. If I were looking I would go to Germany.
