Learning a trade at 31

[Minibiker]

Hi all

I'm really keen to learn a trade and perhaps have a career change, I'm pretty sure 31 years old is not to late to start learning as there is still plenty of time until my retirement

I was considering Electrician or plumbing, do we have any of the above workers on here that could perhaps shine some light on it for me?

Also where do I start, college course, self taught, apprenticeship etc?

Thank you for any information/help

Cheers

Thanks for all the replies, I didn't think of going for both but that sounds like a decent idea, having plumbing and electrics would open up a big opportunity I think, I will ring up the local colleges and see if they offer night classes etc maybe I could get into it that way

@Josh You're correct there bud, I did eventually get my class 2 Hgv license and have been working over the last 6 months, first job was on the Cement mixer lorry, and currently doing tipper work, don't get me wrong the money is coushty for what I need to live but I just don't feel 100% happy at the job and seems like the office staff/transport planners treat you like ****, it may just be the workplace and there maybe better companies out there to work for but at the moment I'm annoyed with the industry
