i quit my full time (60+ hours per week) job as a manager for M+B (Toby brand) went to college full time and did the lv 2 BTEC National Dip in Floristry - the tutor reckons when we passed that we were ready to be a junior florist in a shop so came back to college and now doing LV3 BTEC National Award Dip and the tutor reckons we are qualified enough to run our own shop or be a manager of a shop (on paper) - when i finish in june i would like to get at least a year in a florist shop for more hands on the job experience before i think i would like to look at opening my own shop or even dream of applying for a managers job - i worked my way up in M+B so i knew what i was talking about from all levels, then no one can say i don't know what it is like. - my personal preference.
