Default Thrilling Ambition

A young chap I know of, is aged 25 years and a bit of a lazy slob, but no worries, he has declared to his family that he wants to become a "fork lift truck driver!", there's no limit to his ambition.

Well at least he wants to work! It could be a good career choice if he is a "lazy slob" as most of the time he will be sat down! I have no problem with people wanting to pay their way in this world.

Well at least he will be trained up and get a certificate to prove.

My nephew took the fork lift test, but his employers were always instructing him to move items beyond what he considered safe.

Guess what ? ..... he's no longer with them or driving fork lifts.

At least he wants to work and pay his way. What is wrong with being a forklift driver? Somebody has to do these menial types of job.

I cannot make sense of the opening post. Are we expecting everyone to aspire to be a surgeon, scientist or PM?

When the company worked for re-located from Essex to Norfolk I went as well as I was the only one with a FLT licence. They supplied me with a van, they paid the fuel. I only worked 4 days a week and my travelling time was in my working time. And I got to keep the van at weekends. And a wage rise was in the pipeline, the endless pipeline.

Theres nothing wrong with a fork truck driver nothing you own hasn't been moved by a flt driver at some point.
