Summary

After completing the first year of a Bachelor of Commerce in Agriculture at Lincoln and passing all of the course, I have decided this is not the path for me. Growing up and working on a farm I enjoy being outdoors, active and using my hands. Building has always been a keen interest of mine so I am wanting to start working in the construction industry, ideally by gaining an apprenticeship but would be keen for anything that will help me to develop my skills.
