Re: Urgent! At 50, should I become an electrician?

A little bit of background, I'm from the middle east and have the equivalent of a BSc (Naric certified) in electrical engineering. When I was back home, I worked in electronics such as amplifier design, and in Communications. I then left my home country and moved to the UAE and worked on AC ducts with some electrical installation. After that, for a consultancy where I was an MEP Co-ordinator. Then the recession hit and I lost my job (with no such thing as redundancy out there!) My final job in the UAE was as a Project Manager for IBS (In Building Solution), installing equipment to strengthen mobile signals inside buildings (towers). I then moved to the UK with my wife and worked for Reed Engineering in Surrey as a Cad Technician and Estimator (two roles) - and due to the recession in the UK, the company's projects folded and so did they, and I was out of work again. So, due to various factors, namely recession and bad luck, I've not had much success securing a full-time role again.

Wael, I've made a copy of your post and placed it in this forum. Maybe you'll get lucky and a prospective employer will see it.

Good Luck.
