    Hi Bethany,


    With the exception of: hairdressing, agriculture and firefighting the British Army does everything. That being said, i like many others have worked as firefighters for several months at a time in addition to our usual trade day to day.

    It's really that extensive so choosing a role that suits you is an easy decision should you know what kind of career path you desire.

    Standards to join have never been lower, but do vary quite considerably based on your current qualifications and physical abilities.

    That being said, this doesn't mean that a career in the Army is easy at all. Because it absolutely isn't. It is hugely rewarding in the vast array of opportunities you could be given should you enlist academic and physical development, travel, confidence and work experience to name a few.


    Ultimately if you are willing to work hard then being a Solider in the British Army could well be the making of you.
