Im the same, got my ND in manufacturing engineering, spent an hour the other day with apprenticeship advisor ringing places and asking, theres nowhere to go! I have about as much enthusiasm at the moment as a pebble, and I just cannot be arsed! I have lathe, milling, surface grinding, gas welding and sheet metal skills, but just no jobs for it. Also got a distinction in CAD aswell, no jobs round here for that either. I really wish I learnt how to drive when i was 17...
