    About Me
    Learning a Trade

    Yo! My name's Terry and I live with my family in the wonderful city of Perth, Australia. For many years, I wasn't very happy with my job. I was working in a factory doing very basic work on a production line. The pay wasn't great and the work was boring. I decided to learn a trade so I could earn more money doing work which was worthwhile. I was a little bit nervous before I went to the trade school but I once I settled in there, I really enjoyed the experience of learning new skills. I hope that this blog inspires you to consider signing up with a trade school.
