Gaining HR truck licence and LS bobcat ticket

[Bmobile]

Looking at ditiching my current employment [house painting] and Gaining my HR truck licence and my LS skidsteer/ bobcat ticket. I don't mind paying to get these tickets, but want to make sure I can gain some employment when I do. Any operators out there that could give us any advice before I take the plunge. I am willing to learn at a reduced pay rate and put in the hours.
Any advice one could give would be great.
