so mitch as pointed out you gotta spend money to make money! spend $1000 on a pre-voc course, youll get it back in tax! get into a mechanic apprenticeship if you want, remember your not signing the next 5 years of your life away, you dont like it you get out and go well i tried that , it wasnt for me, so what else interests me! easy man, your young like me, i just happened to do my profession at an earlier age, and now at the age of 19 i have a ticket around the world, a career and a job paying over $40k a year, (straight out of apprenticeship, should be 4th year)! so mate, experiment, try things, you will kill yourself for not giving it a shot and realising it would be something for you or it wasnt! hope that helps
