Any plumbers on here?
Thinking about a career change. I have a strong background in Building services engineering as a consultant engineer, predominantly Public Health & mechanical, but no hands on experience.
There are zero jobs out there at the moment and had this crazy idea yesterday of retraining to be a plumber, probably cos I read somewhere that they can earn up-to £50K?
Just wondering how I would go about this, what are the likely costs, how long the training would take etc?
Not sure if I would have to do an apprenticeship, but I think I am too old (35)?
Any advice appreciated, maybe its a crazy idea at my age, but just wanted the facts so I could rule it out if necessary.
Cheers
