Point 5 - I didnt say YOU had low self esteem but people i have experience of who have come across in this way. You have jumped into a defensive reply, why would that be? You however have said all RGI's are insecure, therefore making an assumption and stating it as fact. You ae wrong but if you continue with this attitude towards people on a forum who may be able to help you I doubt you will see it that way.
If RGI's wanted to monopolise the trade why wuld the trade have trained more in he last 5 years than had been trained in the previous 20
the courses are changing, the expeirence required for gas only changed about 3 years ago, before then experience didnt need to be proved, it wasnt RGI's that changed it.
Can i just clarify something here - Where have I asked for anyone to sign anything for me. I have long since required this, as i knew around these parts it would never happen - I added comments to the contrary of something that I read and I now realise I should not have done so, as it always gets turned around to the individual.
The defence is purely as there are comments on here that are implying I could basically not have had this happen - when I have been on the receiving end of it. If the wording has come across different to how I have intended it - I can only apologise for how it has been interpreted, but I have faced a side of this trade that is evident and always will be unless we all open up to it.
You are quick to put things into my wording or add comments to state is probably my own fault it happened - but on the contrary, you are not open to the fact that this may actually be happening.
We do not live an eutopian life - and as someone has already stated on this thread, sometimes if you need to use dirty tactics - then it is an option basically.
I do not use dirty tactics - nor would I, so before you condem me for having an opinion based on things that have transpired - look deeper into what I have actually written, then maybee it could actually show that this does go on, and is not just some peoples figment of their imagination.
Shame you have such a low opinion of your colleagues in the trade.
Be honest here if you can, would you be so different if you had met the same challenges - are you going to state you have never felt this way about anything.
You dont seem to want to listen to anything other than someone giving you the signed evidence you require. This appears to anyone reading it as just a selfish and self centered. i have had several people PM me on here and have helped them with their issues.
Can I ask you where I have asked to get assistance with this - I have not done so - nor would I come on here to do so. I feel you are holding onto this part that you feel I am after something - please, I am not asking for anything. Also - what am I supposed to be listening too - someone basically stating this does not happen because they have been fortunate.
You may well be a completely different caliber of person to whom would never have done this, to which I do not know.
But please do not try and pass this over in the premise that i am asking for someone to sign off a portfolio - as this is simply not true.
I accepted a long time ago, that the conditions of my qualifications would not fulfill where I wanted them to go. I have added a converse side to some comments posted - to which I feel is being twisted into me trying to get something out of it - why, I do not know.
I feel as said earlier - we will have to agree to dissagree. I have had past experience that you have not, so I can never expect you to understand what went on.
I am also sorry if you feel I was angling for something - this was never mentioned, neither would it have been.
The only part that I feel could have been reworded was the All part - but from my experiences, I hit a wall within the area I live.
Obviously this was also my fault too. There is a lot of hostility towards people coming into this trade, which is evident by some wording in one of the previous threads - but you choose only to see the trade side (which I have studied for and am part of) - but I also have had to endure the not so professional side along the way, so added the other side to the thread (which I wish I hadn't done now).
I will always be open - which is sometimes not the best route, but I will always show the full picture and not try to hide a part we do not like to open up to.
I feel I should bow out before this gets any worse. You have your opinion - and I have mine based on what I had to endure. I apologise if this does not meet your own views - and I will say that I have not added comments to try and gleen assistance for my own gain.
I foolishly made comments to state an opposite side following some comments made by another about wannabe £70k year plumbers, as I personally did not come into the trade for the money - but hit a wall.
I also added the wrong wording I feel - as it invoked the wrong side I was trying to show.
