I was watching The Home Show recently and they mentioned there is a big shortage of electricians at the moment - the figure quoted was 11, 000 (I think).

Because my DIY skills are very poor, I'd give plumbing a go but I'm not playing with electricity. If I get the plubing wrong then the worst case is I flood everywhere or cover stuff in poo. If it goes wrong with that lectric-trickery then it's a nasty shock or death.

Now then - quite like the idea of being a sparky. Appeals much more than have to clear someone's blocked lavy

Surprised there's so much demand at the moment though - would have thought the Poles and the general downturn (no new builds etc) would have seen to that.

I may have to do some more research..

I think you're right. My OH works at a building contractors, specialising in electrical, and she says that as soon as it gets known that they will be contracting on a site, they start getting what are now floods of calls from electricians wanting to subcontract. It's tough for them ATM.

Sparky would be my choice - easier then plumbing - but last I looked you had to get on the job skills to get qualified = zero chance for me.

To be honest I have to say that my work as a Security Expert is very secure here in Britian but if I need to change I could do something in medical matters since here is where I did my first degree while I was in India.

It`s not all it is made out to be. The best clients right now don`t want to spend the money and many of the ones that still have money to burn on me want 2 for 1 offers or similar - very annoying. My £ per teaspoon of Jiz has now dropped massively, not good.
