A job in a sweets packing factory? (And no, you don't get to eat any of the sweets there! )

Or a job in a workshop as a vehicle refinisher?

It's just that in the new year, if things go to plan, I'll be giving up my boring factory job for a vehicle refinishing job.

Oh right. Neither then, both sound as boring as hell.

If only, though it's been so long since I've used a pen for more than signing my name (and even that's a rare thing now), that I'd probably have to insist on recording the lectures with my phone.

Sweets packing. I hate sweets, but it sounds like a less demanding job.

So you are going to learn this trade then and there is alot more to this than the painting side of things as you put it. Its a highly skilled job.

Are you a qualified vehicle refinisher?



And have you got your own paint brushes?

A mate of mine took a holiday job packing fudge, I think he seriously underestimated the amount of pisstaking he would get.

Painting cars sounds quite interesting.

And lucrative when you are skilled. Though I imagine there must be some bucks to be made as a professional fudge packer too

Very surprised by the results. I'm assuming the poll is based on the fact that both jobs are available? The vehicle finishing is a skilled job, with potentially far more earning potential, possible qualifications and future prospects if you are prepared to work at it. Could actually be the start of something, give your a trade to branch off from. I know people who have worked their way up through the trade and made a good career out of it as a body shop tech, managers or running their own business. They all started at the bottom and worked hard. Yet more people would rather put sweets in a packet?

Some of them maybe would enjoy the rather obvious double entendre

One job involves being around the smell of paint all day every day, staring at metal to see if there's the slightest little blemish. While the sweet packing doesn't exactly sound wonderfully exciting I'm sure I'd find it less tedious. Not considering the prospects really.

Sweet packing = boring
Vehicle refinishing = boring + you have to concentrate more on that boring thing

If given the choice between 2 jobs I don't think I'd find massively interesting I'd rather take the one that I think I could switch off from more. That's the story of my working life and probably why I've never got anywhere but I am happier that way.

Ignore the negativity - I hope you enjoy the new job, which sounds more interesting and seems to have some prospects for the future too, from what others have said.

i expect you have to wear a hairnet when you're packing sweets. Not a good look

Vehicle refinisher. Although I've never heard it called that before. I'd consider spray painting cars a pretty skilled job - one that's in short supply round here - good ones anyway.

It's a useful trade and if you're any good you might have an option of setting up on your own one day.

But packing sweets is a wage so no shame in keeping that on either.

How can some people have such a weak outlook.
