Its NEVER too late to change career. When i was on my college course, there was a guy on it who was in his late 40s. That was an apprenticeship.
General building IMO doesn't pay all that well. If you can specialise in a trade related to building, you can earn a lot if you try hard!

HVAC
BMS
Plumbing
Electrics
Security and access control
Fire and life safety systems
Comms

Any of them will need qualifications and you can't just walk into unless your happy to pull cables for a few months but if you can get into any of them, you can earn a fair bit as they are all skilled trades. Depending on how good you can get and if you want to be self employed, you can be earning £300 a day in some of them trades.
