Not which way to tighten a screw!...
At a crossroads & got to start making some decisions. I've been subcontracting as a Mate, mainly to a Domestic Guy but also to a Retail Commercial Spark for past couple of years. Last contract finished on a private new build & as things have dropped off, took time out to figure out if I wanted to carry on. So, I'm after some pointers as to how I might be best served to progress if I keep hammering away at the Sparks route.

I don't know how keen I am to be travelling all over the country, chasing temporary weeks. (This may seem a lazy response, but it's not, I've done it for a while & I really want some settlement, as we all do I know) but if that's how I've got to keep the required experience coming, maybe so be it?

Or I can try local firms time & again for ad hoc Subbie or rarer than rare FT?

Or I have been thinking to stick with my Domestic and try & make a solid go of self employed properly. It'll never be a ransom but it's all for myself as long as I can turn a wage +...

I'm 39, did C&G 2330 Qualified 2010. Haven't done any qualies since, so perhaps I should look at getting some more certs in the bag? 2392/2391, Should really apply for my card. Thought about the NICEIC Periodic course & later courses for design? Maybe Tangent off into another area? Just have held off courses whilst things were tight.

Any Pointers? All appreciated if it's a size 9 following my backside!
