El,
These are the standard answers to your query, please don't take them personal as this is just how it is.
Recruitment of new employees is near to nil at the moment - you would have to join as an apprentice at best.
If you are on what you think is a good wage - stick to what you're doing. The pay-drop is bound to be "inhibitive".
Even with all your current qualifications you can't work (on your own) on any aircraft. You need to attend an approved training course in an approved training school to get into the approved way of working.
If you manage to get through that and you have the good fortune to find a job, you may have to spend up to 5 years to get good pay.
This change is not likely to be advisable at this stage of your career.
