>>1135013I'm in the Royal Navy. Hydrographic specialist. Getting deployed to HMS protector, the RN Ice patrol ship.
Don't even have high school qualifications. But navy have me on a degree course, at their expense.
If anyone here in the UK looking for a career change and has shitty qualifications consider the Royal Navy. You can enter highly technical engineering/science roles with zero qualifications, you just need to score high enough on their aptitude test for the specific role.
3 years ago I was stacking shelves in a Lidl now I'm traveling all over the world doing interesting shit. Granted, it's not for everyone, you have to make a lot of sacrifices regarding your social and personal life.
