[QUOTE="Princess Pooper, post: 7917140, member: 971"] And how many management positions are there in other industries!!!!?? If you are filling shelves or on the tills at Tesco at the age of 18 what are the chances of becoming a manager? The point that I was making was that within the sector there are loads of opportunities to move up a pay scale and to different hours etc. I deliberately took the one year improver post. The reason I then went to the management trainee post was to be with a current boyfriend. The only reason I left it was for health reasons, which make it difficult for me to work in practical agriculture (my circulation is so bad in winter I am at risk of gangrene). That was on an 800 acre non-dairy farm. I could have stayed and become manager and from there moved to another larger farm or estate if I had wanted to - which is what the other family member has done, working from GFW to specialist sprayer operator to assistant manager (1 of 2) to manager and then to another business to manage the agricultural enterprises across 3 farms. But without those early years of practical agricultural work I couldn't have done the jobs I went on to. [/QUOTE]
