Hi all,

I have thought about this for a while, but now am at the point where if I dont at least give it a go very soon, I will never forgive myself for not trying when I am old and grey.

At the moment I am in Senior Management in retail (being doing it years) but despise the stress, etc. If it matters I am 36 with a family.

So can you let me know the best course, quickest route to been a basic Plumber (not bothered about Corgi yet)

Also the realistic earnings ( I dont own any rose tinted specs)I can expect post course / training etc as a self employed Plumber
plus any other advice you can bring to the table.

Thanks all in advance
