I’m currently 17 doing A-levels at college, but only because my mum wants me to.

After I finish them, I want to become a bricklayer because I’d much rather work with my hands than go to university.

Seeing as bricklaying apprenticeships are quite hard to come by (at least here in Leicester), I was looking at doing a level 2 bricklaying course. I don’t think I’ll need to do a level 1 because I got a 6 in English Language and a 5 in Maths, but I’m wondering if it’ll be more attractive to employers if I at least get some experience in college first.

My plan is to get at least a year or two of experience and then move to Germany because of their labour shortage and good pay for bricklayers.
