I am currently employed full time, in a pretty much dead end job, it doesn't require any qualifications.

I'm 18 and I am thinking about doing an apprenticeship with a international company, but this would require me attending college for 4 years, and the first few years will be in paid.

I earn a pretty average wage, but I don't feel as thou I have much luck for the future with no real qualifications or skills, and I feel going back to college and doing this apprentiship programme will offer me a lot of benefits for the future.

What do you think ?

Probably a really dumb question to some, but I don't know and find it hard to do equations with fractions.

e.g. 3/5 + 7/9, 4/5 - 5/8

Can anyone help explain please ?

Thanks

I have my RAF intitial interview on the 21st of August, and I have been trying to research info on current affair regarding the RAF, but I'm not having much luck on finding any decent information.

Could anyone possibly help me out on some RAF current affairs or websites where I can find some info ?

Thanks

How long do wedding videos tend to be, I have seen many online and they all seem around the 5-10min mark, and that doesn't seem very much ?

Thanks

Okay Ive applied for the RAF as a Survial Equipment Fitter.

But I do have major dental problems that my hospital is planning on fixing, and I may need a bone graph for this.

What are the RAF like on this sort of thing, I can't see my dental problems excusing me from the RAF, but will the treatment that I have to go through disqualify me ?

Thanks

Is Turkey in the EU now ??

I am 18 years old and have always had the ambition to be an airforce pilot.

But i wasn't great at school, and didn't get great grades, wish i could go back.

I got mainly C's in all the subjects, and i know that there's such a strong competition to get into being an airforce pilot.

Is it too late for me to go back to college and get the grades, would it really be worth it, and have i actually got a chance of achieving my dream if i do so.

I currently have a full time job as a mechanic, but i have so much more aspirations than that.

I'm considering joining either the NAVY or the RAF. But i'm naturally a skinny person. i'm only 18, so i'm still young, but i'm not a fitness guru.

I'm just wondering whether I should bulk up first, or is that what they'll get me to do during training ?

Thanks

Sam

P.S, UK NAVY, not US.

Anyone know any programs where it allows me to put multiple clips into one shot, and give it a split screen effect ?

Say for example, 3 separate clips, into one shot ..

Thanks

Okay i'm trying to build up my commercial photography portfolio, but just can't get the custom no matter how much i put myself out there.

So, i'm just wondering whether it's okay/right for me to take a photo of something that looks like it could be a story in a magazine, and make a mock magazine print with some writing on it, just to make it looked a bit more professional and that it's used commercially ??

Thanks

I fancy getting into Stock Photography as I enjoy that type of minimalist look to stock photography.

I have read through the iStock website, but i'm still struggling to understand what's involved in it all.

Do I pay anything, or do I simply upload the image, it sells and i get some commission on it ??

Thanks

Ok so an 18 year old mate of mine has offered to help me out and be my model.

Trouble is I don't really have a clue how I can photograph a young male model.

There is the 'Cool' looking young kid look, but that's a bit cliché.

Does anyone else have any rough ideas ??

Thanks

Considering joining up for the RAF.

I am not the fittest, I am pretty slim, but I want more muscle on me, I have just started following a sit ups fitness program as I would like a more toned body, but also may start following a press ups program.

So, I'm guessing I'm going to need protein shakes to actually get these muscles to show.

What do you recommend, are there any side effects and how should I start eating ??

Thanks

I have a 550d that I would like to start using for video use, but i just can't get the knack of moving around using manual focus at the same time.

Currently have a 60mm 1:1 canon macro lens. 1:1 is the closest, but how can I get even closer shots without sacrificing image quality ?

I've had extension tubes, but you have no control over the f stop.

Do lens converters work ?

Thanks

I'm currently 18 but when i was 17 i was on the UK Minimum wage of £3.68 ph.

I was given a pay rise the other day to £5.37.

I was 18 yesterday and the UK minimum wage for a 18 year old is £4.98

Should i now be on more than £5.37, should i add on the increase from when i was 17 to the 18 yr old minimum wage ?? which is another £1.30ph on top of £5.37 ??

Thanks

Last year my dad was a bit tipsy at like 8am (before we'd even opened the presents).

We all really hated it that he was already drunk at that time of morning, and i really want to say something to him about it before christmas.

I want to tell him not to have drink in the morning, because its not fair on us.

But i don't know how to tell him without him getting defensive and it turning into an argument.

Any suggestions on how i can confront him about this but without causing an argument.

Thanks

We're engineers, and i want to get my two engineering colleagues something for christmas.

I don't really want to spend much more than £10 each.

Don't want anything too fancy, just a small gift with a card.

Thanks in advance.
