There is no need for sarcasm, if you had put in your post that you had already thought of that then I wouldn't have suggested it!

I don't know which College you have tried but there certainly isn't a 3 yr waiting list at the one I work at, plenty of people your age come in the evening and work at whichever trade during the day. There isn't any other way to get qualified, you are too old for an apprenticeship.
