    I've been a painter for 42 years in the UK. I started at 15 and went self employed at 30. I've loved my job and when people are pleased with your work it makes it all worthwhile.

    I retired at 60 from an engineer role.
    My first ever job was apprentice painter and decorator.
    I did a refresher course and I’ve now gone self employed.
    It’s brilliant, customers accept I’m a little slower at my age and can’t a,ways do a full day but I charge for the job not day rate,

    Did anyone do the 6 months course and become a painter and decorator, if I'm being honest I think it's the easiest trade to learn in a short period of time , which has influenced my reason for picking it
