Learn to kick/bat/club a ball around better than 99.99% of other people!
Otherwise grow up and educate yourself in a career path that could facilitate this easily (Financial or Medical to name a pair!)
I'm 30 years old. I'm too old to be a competitive sportsman, I can't stand blood, disease or death and I'm unwilling to sell my sole and every waking hour as an investment banker.Otherwise grow up and educate yourself in a career path that could facilitate this easily (Financial or Medical to name a pair!)

You'd best get used to not having £5k a week disposable then!
I'm only a few years older than you, but I decided many moons back that to pay for the things I wanted I had to make my own success!
It's certainly possible to make that much (or many multiples more) as many friends on PH have done, however none of them do it without putting in far more effort, stress blood sweat and tears than any of the professions I've already listed!
So if you're not prepared to put in the effort, you cant expect to enjoy the rewards!
Hello JameBeeston, - "ex socialite", owner of Ferrari F40 (as per profile), spill the beans on your secret - I would like you to state your educational qualifications, plus day job. Thanks.I'm only a few years older than you, but I decided many moons back that to pay for the things I wanted I had to make my own success!

OP please clarify the 'qualified' part of your Civil Engineering status
What do you want to know?I obtained A - levels, obtained civ eng degree with first class honors. Worked in industry for a number of years designing temporary/permanent works and set out permanent works in the field when required.

Definitely rode a wave of luck 
I think our friends attitude says all it needs to about his chances of finding his own luck!
OP: Whilst PH is full of passionate, enthusiastic people whom you could learn from, Buy me a drink at a PH Social sometime and I'll happily talk to you, if you can find your way to some manners
All I can give you is respect if you are self made, but you've still not answered my question RE qualifications + day job. I think our friends attitude says all it needs to about his chances of finding his own luck!

- OK, so a degree that provided you with an opening into the industry, following which you gained some fairly basic design and site experience - but not yet Chartered (i.e. professionally qualified), which is your 'glass ceiling'. All the Civils graduates that I mentor usually achieve Chartership in 4-5 years on a graduate training scheme which includes rotation between design, site, commercial, etc., so I suggest that Chartership needs to be your next realistic goal.
FWIW, I joined the industry at 16 and achieved Chartership and latterly Fellowship, demonstrating that hard work does pay. However, £5k per week is and will remain a pipe dream!
Little in the way of financial incentives to become 'chartered'. In fact after paying the ICE their yearly chartership fee I would likely be worse off.
