>>1664969I can only speak for what it's like in the UK, but here you can start from basically nothing but a strong work ethic and work your way up to being a fully competent and qualified worker in about 2 years. I did a cram course at a college to get my basic qualifications, but when I got my first job I realised I basically knew nothing.
You don't need your tickets (qualifications) to work cash in hand or as a subby, but if you want a steady job you're going to have to do some courses
