Electrical Engineering
Discussion
Hi guys,
I am looking for a little but of advice and hope somebody can help.
I am currently looking at a change in career and I am thinking about electrical engineering.
Now I know the normal way into this is a degree in the subject or an apprenticeship.
To give you a bit of background, I am 25 with a law degree and most of my work experience is customer service and sales focused.
The advice I am looking for is how best to make my way into the discipline, I'm not sure about starting an apprenticeship at 25 as I am aware that the money isn't great. I have good results from school in both maths and physics.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

I know you said no to the apprenticeship part but a man on my college course used to work as a call centre manager earning circa 40k a year. At 29 he changed and got an aprrenticeship in electrical engineering, obviously there was a big wages drop but he managed, had to downgrade the car which could be painfull to say on here :P. It did help that he had a wife who could pay most of the mortgage, bills etc.
"Engineering" is about designing things, with Electrical Engineering typically about designing thing like power distribution systems. It's pretty maths based and would normally require a degree in Electrical Engineering.
I think what the OP is referring to is becoming an Electrician.
