    Well to start from the beginning I am stuck in IT for the moment and because I only have a st8 UNISA refused me the chance to study with them. The colleges in our aria only provide for students that already past at least 1 subject in N3 and if nothing else they do no longer provide for new students to enrol for night classes. To cut a long story short my st8 is making sure that none will accept you to study for anything! So I did my studies in safety as it was the only subject that I could study and qualified. But there is a catch no-one is interested because I have no experience they want 5 years minimum. So I thought I do a lot of electrical work “outside the country” so I will study for it because I have a good background on the subject. But again there is no chance because the only training facility “CTC” in our aria do not provide training for individuals basically the company you work for must enrol you. So now I can go and do rigging and electrical work outside the country and get paid a good amount of money but in short you are still “unschooled and unqualified” so when come back to South Africa you end up with the same scenario.

    But the real joke is UNISA that also refused me computer studies! But I am an IT technician! Wonder full stuff that one!

    Hi
    Read your dilema. Have you tried collegues outside your area? Or do you have a transport problem? And why only a std8?
    You also said you are going to work outside the country doing oil riggs and electrical work. Do you not see it as experiance? It is something to put on a cv and with a good referance you can open doors later. Sometime in life we cant start on the page we want we have start at the begining. Be excited you dont know whats coming next.
