^I shall join the force too thanks to your convincing haha
Jedi still believe in the Force despite census snubThe force is not with us and nor is the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Census figures released last week have shone fresh light on Kiwis' religious faith but tens of thousands of responses were rejected because they were not deemed legitimate. Among those considered "out of scope" are Jedi and Pastafarians, who profess to be worshippers of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. After a public campaign in 2001, 53,715 people declared themselves as Jedi in the census, and 20,262 did so in 2006. Wellington Jedi Renee Lee said it "sucked" that Jedi were not recorded as followers of a legitimate religion, particularly given it had more devotees than some more accepted faiths. "Jedi is definitely a valid thing," she said.
As Pyro mentioned; Web Dev. There are zero startup costs (assuming you have a pc), tons of free resources, and plenty of examples.It's something you can learn pretty quickly, branch into a server side language, and then take a 6 month diploma. Entry level software development may set you at around 45-55K depending on your chosen languages

In all seriousness, when I started trying to learn C#, I stopped for a week (I'd probably only been learning for a week too) and my shit memory had forgotten most of what I'd learnt. And so I gave upBut again, I've got to ask, is plumbing really that dangerous? Or were you just working in some serious industrial sites?

I had my teeth smashed out and a 200KG steel pipe dropped on my knee. Along with all the other accidents I saw happen. I used to work in commercial/industrial. Much more dangerous then residential.Also, the amount of 60 year olds that can hardly walk/breathe after years of the job taking its toll on your body, no thanks...
