Hello to all sparks great and small

I stumbled upon your forum doing some searching and had a look aroused very impressed with the site you all seem honest and friendly. My name is Simon, I'm 33 and I'm from hinckley. In October 2000 I went college to complete year one 2360 and 7261 city and guilda and Passed it all half way through year 2 I had mum and dad both pass on very close to each other which stopped me in my tracks and couldn't finish due to emotional and financial reason. Since then I did warehouse work up until 10 years ago where I have been building various different types of control panels. Mainly for jaguar and land rover bur also for the food industry. As well as build them I have been on site a few times to modify mor fit said panels. Thing is tho I have gone as far as I can as I just follow drawings and don't actually understand many of the circuits apart from what I have taught myself and have recently really wanted to finish off what I started and become a domestic electrician. Question is am I too old? I'm am in the process of enquiring with my local college with regards to courses ect but would anyone take me on after I qualified at such a late stage and with only the theory and not much practical behind me? I am still very fit and active and a quick learner. Thank-you for taking the time to read and hi once again.
 
This is a really inspiring read and really appreciate you sharing that. I have been booked to go to a careers meeting with the college on Thursday to discuss what actual courses I need to take in order to become an electrician so will know more then. Thank-you ks again
 
Welcome to the forum. I am new too and I am hoping to learn a few useful things for my career. This can really help me get ahead and ensure that i dont make any mistakes when I actually start working.
I have seen a lot of posts to do with what to use and what is bad and it is all quite interesting to see the support that comes in.
