Career change to tiler

[Pitman89]

Hi guys, looking for a bit of advice.
I'm a time served Painter and Decorator of nearly 10 years, I'm 27 y/o.
Basically lost my passion for what I do, looking for a new challenege in life.
I've quite fancied tiling for around 2 years but just stuck to what I know until recently I've completely hit a brick wall in what I do.
How hard would you guys say it would be to pick it up? I know you ain't gonna learn jack over night. My plan was to maybe do a course or 2 to gain my NVQ and learn the basics, then become a tiler's mate to learn a thing or 2. Sadly due to a mortgage and kids I'm unable to do the whole college thing again. Just wondering what you guys think.
Any advice appreciated

Always a tough situation to be in but if your really that unhappy and don't mind putting in the extra hours then go for it.

I'm sure you would pick it up quick, I'm a painter and decorator as well and have found that any finishing job I have learnt has come pretty natural to me.
