I am a head of a thriving maths department at a large independent school, earning above £40k. I am 53 and have been yearning for self employment (unshackled so to speak). I have a sound academic working knowledge of electrical principles and have done a number of simple domestic installations over the years; I am a practical person with above average DIY skills. Am I being realistic in seeking to become a trained electrician for, what will probably be, 10-12 years? What are earnings prospects (Cheshire region)/ Thank you for any help/advice.
