I Have my level 3 in Engineering and have worked in maintenance (Fitter,mechanical,PPMs) for 3 years however, i have been planning to change careers for a while now.

Due to the recent "Pandemic" it has allowed me to deliberate the path i want to take as i do not see a long career working night shifts in dark warehouses.

I have looked into Becoming an electrician. Why an electrician ? Well the freedom an electrician has is very attractive and the ability to open more doors when combining my electrical and mechanical skills. Obviously, to become an electrician i would need training and qualifications. What would the quickest way be to do this without coming out the other side as a cowboy.

Secondly,I have been accepted onto a HND in mechanical engineering hoping to gain a deeper knowledge in my field hoping to boost my earnings. However this route still seems restrictive in prospects. Could someone please tell me what prospects are out there for someone with my skills and a added HND.

Lastly, I have an interest in the markets and helping others understand them. I would also love to have a career which is rewarding. Which is why i have applied to CII Level 4 Regulated Financial planning which would allow me to gain a position in a insurance or investment firm advising clients on the markets and potentially building a client base and becoming Independent.

The main question is what are my options and what are your experiences ?? Thanks guys
