Future plans

[Hilldog]

Not sure if I am being a bit naive here but was wondering if some one could give me some good advice.

I am l well on my way to being fully qualified and whilst I am aware that there is still lots of work to do I can't help but having one eye on the future. I decided to become an electrician so that I could try and make some good money out of it. My question then is which is the best way to go to earn the big bucks? I've looked at various things but am not sure which is best. Initially I have thought about solar panels (PV), high voltage, or DLR (as my friend said there is good money in the London Underground). I was thinking of maybe trying to contract somewhere but obviously I need to get the extra tickets/qualifications and know which direction to move in first. I looked at all of the HNC & degree stuff and it looks pretty hard to be honest. Willing to do the work if that's where it's at but ideally wanted to contract or set up my own business.

again apologies for appearing to be naive but was just after anyone's thoughts on this.

thanks

There's no such country as england anymore, its just known as Britain. Go to any supermarket and look in the refrigerated meats section you'll see meats marked as either Irish, Scottish, welsh or British. This country went to the dogs a long time ago...

That's funny, went to the supermarket here over the weekend and by luck, found and bought ''English Cumberland Sausages'', and on the packaging, ....Made and packaged in England!! But i know what you're saying...

Maybe they only mark as English for the overseas markets. ...lol!!

thanks for all the replies (except GMES who clearly has nothing productive to say)

I have been looking into a few things for the future (personally I think its good to have a plan for the future). What do you think about the HNC? do you think the investment in time, pain and money is worth it (£4K)? I know the maths sound horrific but I was never that bad at maths and am willing to work at it. Do you think it would be more beneficial to go down the HNC/qualifications route or more go for hands on jobs/route e.g. DLR, setting up alone

Thats 42 % of them idiots then

I think most Scots are intelligent enough to know when a politician is giving them the run around, 58% in favour of remaining in the UK at the last poll taken.

I respect your direct question,but,to my knowledge,i have NEVER heard a self-made millionaire on a talk show say," yeh,it all started from a suggestion i got on a forum..." follow your heart and the money MAY arrive,or follow the money and take what travels with it...
