Well, there’s many routes. I chose the “use chatGPT to help draft my long form answers” and be a stone mason route. It’s not a bad gig. Pay is absolutely miserable, but we’re salaried, get a decent pension and not pushed near as hard as in the private sector. That said, my wages were almost literally cut in half when I took the job. I guess long story short…you apply. If you’re in trades, and in a position where you can afford to take a pay cut. If you want to get into trades and are keen on an apprenticeship. It’s decent. Basically, if you’re starting or finishing your career, it’s a great place to be. Or if you have a steady stream of side jobs or a hustle.
I work at Stirling Castle, in Scotland.
How does one get to work there?
