I totally agree with you starjack.But think of all the baggage someone of that age would bring, he will no doubt need a good income, could be set in his ways, could come with medical issues and the list goes on and all this while your trying to teach him a very hard trade.
That's why I said no thanks!!!!!
Possibly.Should that read RELY on her?
i can see your point, but bear in mind, that 50+ year old may have a load of experience, could be ex-forces with a bit of a pension, mortgage paid off, kids flown the nest. every situ on it's own merits.But think of all the baggage someone of that age would bring, he will no doubt need a good income, could be set in his ways, could come with medical issues and the list goes on and all this while your trying to teach him a very hard trade.

How can 2 members disagree with me, are you saying he couldn't have any of the issues I mentioned or do you have a crystal ball.But think of all the baggage someone of that age would bring, he will no doubt need a good income, could be set in his ways, could come with medical issues and the list goes on and all this while your trying to teach him a very hard trade.

Hi, it is quite physical, anyway I done my gas safe course in 2017, at the age of 53. Crack on.!!Hi, I’m new here
I’ve been reading this forum and researching trade courses for some time now because I’m wanting to make a career change. I have not worked in the industry before, but I am multi-skilled and have no doubt that I have the capacity to make a good electrician… but the trouble is, I will be turning 50 in a few months.
At first I thought I could just do a C&G 2365 and then get a job and quickly qualify as an Electrician… But in reality I think it will be a lot more challenging to find work at my age. And if I did find a job, I would be working as an underling for several years before gaining my qualifications and upping my wage.
I’m keen to hear some honest opinions from the professionals. Would I be wasting my time and money to get trained up? And would any firm employ a fifty-year-old novice?
