Courier Jobs

dceire

I've basically had it with the midlands and am trying to find work in Dublin in order to move up there. My friend suggested today that I become a courier as I have a bike & GIVI box. Never thought of it before but it did raise a few questions.

Are there many courier jobs around these days?
Can on make a reasonable living off of it?
How in depth should your grasp of 'the knowledge' be?

there are easier jobs
i made good money at it but that was in the 90's so i don't know (you'd hAVE TO MAKE GOOD MONEY TO BE ARSED TBH)
you need to know your way around and be good with maps but you'll never know till you try

1) Yes loads of jobs
2) Not a chance
3) The less of Dublin you know the less you make.

As Tigger said, there was big money in it before and during the boom. There used to be a basic wage but now most companies only pay dockets, so now even experienced couriers are making more from the dole.

If you want to spend money to sit around Dublin, get a Taxi. At least you'd be out of the wind and rain as you burn money.
