Seen on the arriva website it's £17/hour up to 2 years service then it goes up to £18.04/hour for 4+ years of service. This seems really good. I work at a tesco warehouse and it's £19/hour to kill my back picking up heavy boxes and sorting them into cages, here it's just simple driving? I'd be doing it in a peaceful area of Grays as well so not inside main bit of London at all. Is there anything negative i need to be aware of?
What's the best company to work for arriva/first bus/stagecoach any others im missing? With the best benefits?
Who would recommend it or have any comments?
Cheers
A bit of background: I'm 28 years old, left school 12 hours ago obviously, wasted time in college (2 years) doing construction, then moved to Access to HE (IT) course for 2 years, went to University, did 1 year in comp science, decided to switch to games dev (dumb mistake), half way through games degree, mum passes away so I take a year off, just last year I finally graduate with the games degree, but not actually worked in any games jobs at all. Just done delivery jobs.
I'm currently unemployed just doing amazon flex delivery work whenever there's routes that pop up randomly, I want a proper career, since getting my car 4 years ago, I've grew serious interest in cars, that I didn't know I'd be interested in 10 years ago. I want to do car mechanics (start off as an apprentice) as a career, but people's negative comments on their subreddit is kind of putting me off, if i didn't have a stutter, I'd do car sales but i just can't do it, been watching HGV driving videos, but read it's poor conditions and long hours.. Only today looked at trainee bus driver jobs, but not sure i'd actually enjoy doing this. Also looked into electrician, but I genuinely don't think I'll be able to do a job with that much responsibility and it's probably really stressful as well.
Just completely unsure in what to do, anyone got anything to help me?
Thanks
Im 28, messed around all my life since leaving school pretty much, I am not sure even now what to do, spent my early adult life keep changing courses, even now i'm confused on what i want to do. I've been looking at car mechanics reddit reviews and they say the job conditions are bad, I had a look at HGV's and they say it's long hours and once again poor conditions depending on employer. How would electrician go? I don't even think i'm smart enough to work a job with this much responsibility... just want people's thoughts. I am completely lost and depressed

Background: When I was 16 and left school, I went to college to do carpentry, I did 2 years, went back for the 3rd and final year, day 1, I realise my only friend wasn't there anymore and it was daunting being an extremely shy person with a stutter, I literally walked out and went home the same day. I then thought back to myself in year 7, that I wanted to do games development, and switched to a games course in college again, did 1 year at this games course, before the teacher highly recommended I switch and do an Access to HE (IT) course and go to a University for computer science. I did 2 years to get the Access to HE qualification. Did 1 year again at the computer science University course (actually failed due to my maths being terrible but passed due to covid..), decided again that I'd do games development, but the head of the course wanted me to start from year 1, so I did 3 years for the games degree. Once again, a big reason as to why I kept switching and changing was being I dreaded and was so anxious of getting into work, due to my shyness and the sole reason being how I'd be treated by colleagues and customer's due to my stutter, and also being scared to grow up basically and move finally on to working. Even now I've been thinking of getting an apprenticeship for car mechanics, for the subreddit for that some of them recommended I stay out for it.. For most of my life from like year 5 up until now, I've been depressed, from 2012 it went into suicidal thoughts and now the loss of my mum 5 years ago, it's even worse, like I'm a failure and I've let her down. I'm so far behind where other people my age should be.
Now I'm currently unemployed, got my worthless games degree a year ago, only worked in dead-end delivery jobs for amazon and royal mail since graduation, I enjoy driving but not for Amazon as it's self employed (no benefits/pension..), and royal mail is for an agency and it's temporary.. I want to find an actual career that pays well and something I won't dread going into everyday. I was thinking of doing HGV2 lorry driving, but I've not heard of how the conditions are in that job..
I was thinking of being an electrician 2 months ago but I don't think I'm smart enough to do something with that level of responsibility..
If i didn't stutter, I'd do car sales as I really like cars since getting my license 4 years ago, but I can't do it because of my stutter, and the awkwardness that would come from it.
Any advise or anything you guys can give me pls I am just completely lost on what to do.. I just keep changing my mind and it's ruining my life :(
Cheers
From what I can tell, the HGV1 is the bigger lorries and the HGV2 is the smaller ones, I'd be more comfortable doing the smaller lorry. Any thoughts and anything else would be nice. I've done delivery driving before for supermarkets and royal mail/amazon and genuinely enjoy driving, but driving those lorry's is completely different... I'd probably prefer to do it at night, any thoughts on night time driving?
From what i gathered, you just park at the tesco's or wherever your going to, and wait in the lorry or in their "lounge" area, until they've completely taken everything they need to? And there's like 10-20 drops a day? Am i missing anything in the day to day life of a HGV2 driver?
I was thinking of getting into car mechanics, but the reviews I got from that subreddit put me off..
Cheers
it dont look like it's deep scratches but it goes all along the side of the car it's a long scratch..

I'm 28, done 2 courses in college when i left school in 16 which was construction and IT, i didnt like it, so ended up just working at random warehouse/delivery jobs. since i got my license 4 years ago, i've been so interested in cars which i didnt know i'd be 10+ years ago, and would love to get into it. especially as i can save thousands to fix my own car as well.
what do i do go to college again do a level 1? or could i do apprenticeship? i'm 28, so not sure how it would be getting back into education at 28..? i feel embarrassed about it tbh.. any suggestions and help would be appreciated.
thanks

Thanks
Has anyone recently done the knowledge test for Basildon to be licensed as a taxi private hire driver? I'm interested in joining it, but I'm not from the area and will completely fail without revising. Can anyone give any tips and advise on how I can pass, any websites things you used to pass? Anything at all? There isn't even a mock test available...
When I called DWP earlier for a budgeting loan, they said i can't get one for rent, but they said I can make a call, i forgot who and apply for help with rent where I can get something up to like £500? Can someone help? I had the call Tuesday and completely forgot..
Thanks

So i have SP30 speeding conviction with my old car may 2025, i been driving since novemver 2021, i have 3 year NCD because my first year i thought changing insurer company is fine so i lost a year NCD. So i have about 4 years 5 months experience, 3 NCD years and my insurance this year was £3080 comprehensive paying monthly £211 with about £750 deposit as well. Yet i was curious how much it would cost if i did a quote again for this year, it says £4200??? Why?
Anyone know? Is it because i do have a default notice on my credit score. When i pay that off and my credit score improves the quote will go down? I dont see any other reason why its so much? Ill pay off the default i got this month, fully next month.
Cheers
